Bill Mitchell propagates permanent deficit-spending/money-creation because Public Deficit = Private Profit. So, even to mention rolling budget-balancing is anathema.

Funny, I am sure mainstream neoclassical economists reject AXEC/E.K.H's silly work,...but...

...He is actually a perfect example of what they believe they are accomplishing from what I can see on his pages. It looks like his axioms etc actually DO carry out their absurd views to their logical conclusion; he is probably about 5 steps ahead of them on the (bs) formalization road. Just shows how silly their logical conclusion is of course; usefully makes clear how absurd their approach is, even when done in a alternative way. At any rate, You go get'em AXEC! Lol

Bill Mitchell and Stephanie Kelton are attempting to hijack the genuine grassroots movements in the UK and US. Pretty obvious, isn’t it?

Explain in plain English (no formulas, and not a link): "Profit Law clearly states: Public Deficit = Private Profit"

If the total wage income of the household sector is 100 and the household sector spends all on consumption, i.e. 100, the macroeconomic profit of the business sector is zero.

If the total wage income of the household sector is 100 and the household sector spends all on consumption and the government sector makes deficit-spending/money-creation of 10 the profit of the business sector is 10.

Generalization: Public Deficit = Private Profit.
