The Monetarist fantasy is over — Robert Skidelsky


Quite a good piece that pushes the MMT view without naming it.

Good article! I guess Skidelsky is aware of MMT but wants to avoid the attacks that go with promoting it specifically?

If Boris Johnson had written that piece, it would've carried more oomph.

MMT proposals:

1) INCREASED privileges for the banks and, by extension, for the rich, the most so-called "worthy" of what is currently the public's credit but for private gain.

2) Wage-slavery to government to supplement wage-slavery to the private sector for the victims of the banks and the rich.

LAME-O!
