Stephanie Kelton — MMT Basics: You cannot consider the deficit in isolation
so it appears to me in slide 6/8 that recession only occur while the private sector is accumulating a surplus. But recessions only end when the private sector is shedding the current surplus it received. Or to say, a good economy is when the private sector spends more than it's income. Certainly not what most would envision.
Is it just me, or does Mike look like he smoking a spliff on that youtube still on the top left of the homepage?
