  1. MMT is antithesis to the neoliberal stuff … that was there first…

    Goes in order: Thesis THEN antithesis…

    And they would be wrong.

    It's called understanding the opponent. You know, dialectics.

  4. “What is neoliberalism?” Would be as big a rabbit hole waste of time as “what is money?”….

  5. It is a waste of time to understand how your opponent rationalizes their position.

    As for 'neoliberal' macroeconomics, I'm guessing the literature is rather scant.

  6. They are trained to dogmatically defend it not rationalize it.... if you are believing the antithesis then you might think they are rationalizing it..,

  7. Right now all you hear is the monetarist thesis over and over and over.... “inflation!” being caused by the Fed “printing money!”

    It’s all you hear..,, every day after day.... it is 99% consensus view....
