How MMT Won the Fiscal Policy Debate (Podcast) featuring Stephanie Kelton

 I don't usually post pod casts or video, since there is a lot of information that I don't have time to preview.

Here is podcast with Stephanie Kelton explaining how MMT "won" in the sense of shifting the policy debate from debt and deficits to the inflation constraint. The former are not actual constraints on a government that is sovereign in its currency while the latter is an actual constraint.

Also, I usually don't link to Bloomberg because of the paywall. But this is open.

This destroys the government as big household or firm analogy and shows that Margaret Thatcher's claim that the government has no money but taxpayers' money is bogus.

Focus Economics just published its list of top influencers in economics. Mike Norman made the list as did Lars Syll. Congratulations to Mike and Lars.

Incredibly, however, no other MMT economists are mentions, even though, as the above mentions, in Bloomberg, no less, MMT has shifted the policy debate onto new ground.
