Responses to Paul Krugman

Predictably, Paul Krugman's unreferenced attack on "the modern monetary theory people — who say that deficits never matter, as long as you have your own currency" has drawn responses from some of the modern monetary theory people.

• Prof. James K. Galbraith responded in the comments to Krugman's second post. Mike Norman has posted Galbraith's comment:

  1. The reaction by the MMT community to Krugman's dismissive comments can only be described as a "tsunami." I don't think he had even the slightest idea that he'd get that kind of response.
