An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
A few weeks ago the FT came out in favour of state planning and moving towards a worker-led economy. Then, a few weeks later, it backed a caretaker Corbyn government. Now this.
State planning? That's a joke. When they had state planning in Russia and Eastern Europe (prior to the collapses of communism) not one in a thousand of the lefties who advocated state planning in the UK chose to migrate to Eastern Europe to enjoy to amazing benefits of state planning.
It's a bit like the Muslims who advocate Sharia law, while doing everything they can to quit Muslim countries, or stay in the West.

Right policy depends on true theory. The reset of economic policy presupposes the reset of economic theory because the major approaches ― Walrasianism, Keynesianism, Marxianism, Austrianism, MMT ― are mutually contradictory, axiomatically false, materially/formally inconsistent and all got the foundational economic concept of profit wrong. Economics is failed/fake/cargo-cult science to this day. The reset of economics requires a new set of axioms, i.e. the replacement of false Walrasian microfoundations and false Keynesian macrofoundations by true macrofoundations. Methodologically, this reset is called a Paradigm Shift. The FT is a bit late. The reset has already happened some time ago. See

State planning was a reality in western countries too. It’s just a matter of recognizing what is state planning.

Yeah but they were all drunk on vodka Ralph....
State planning in China. Seem to work much better than the USAs planning. Compare GDP.

You say: “State planning in China. Seem to work much better than the USAs planning.”
The USA needs no planning because MMTers keep Capitalism going with deficit-spending/money-creation.
MMTers make Capitalism work
