A very few do understand MMT, however. Paul McCulley of Pimco and James Montier of GMO, for example.
Here is another voice to add to the list of those that actually get MMT and therefore finance.
Pass it on. There is also a link to download a PDF of the article.

Here is an alternative viewpoint by an economist that is also a financial professional who actually cites MMT literature — but gets it wrong anyway.

I've just read the Chris Bedingfield article - awesome! He's a real convert.
Remember when I linked money to 'work done' (labour) or work promised (as a loan) and some people said that I had a very old fashioned idea of money by limiting it to the amount of work that can be done. But that is what the MMTers say as well.
"And while a country like Australia or the USA can never run out of its own currency, it can run out of labour, energy, food or water. Put another way, the real budget constraint is inflation."
Bill Mitchell is very socialist. Chris Bedingfield must be open minded to that too.
