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.
Re the references to anti global warming campaigners in that article as "extremists", as Richard Murphy pointed out in a recent article, an "extramist" is simply someone who campaigns for something the rich, the powerful, the authorities and the establishment don't like.
E.g. the two main UK political parties backed the Iraq war which resulted in the death of a million Muslims, while the UK's "far right" opposed that war. But of course the establishment hypocrites portray the far right as "extremist", which in the circumstance is joke in very poor taste.
Nothing to personally lambaste Ms. Slater about. But in Scotland, I would say that the Nicola Sturgeon, who hired Slater, and her henchwoman Lady Dorrian would lead the list of the right people to annoy.
Something I "wrote" on Craig Murray's blog. First Minister Sturgeon was a protégée of "Salmondus", who has commented that she has lately been playing the role of one of King Lear's other daughters - not Cordelia.
"Nicola, now grown weary of the very facility of her adultery with the English Crown, was rushing into strange excesses, when Dorriana urged the breaking off of all concealment of their design to rule through unrestrained judicial tyranny. Either through some fatal infatuation or because she imagined that, amid the dangers which hung over her, danger itself was the best safety. “They were not,” she said, “in such an extremity as to have to wait for Salmondus’s old age. Harmless measures were for the innocent. Crime once exposed by the noble Murraius had no refuge but in audacity. They had accomplices in all who feared the same fate."

Not always Ralph.
Sometimes an extremist really is a narcissistic nut job.

The journalist who wrote the article clearly doesn't understand MMT:-
"In crude terms, Kelton’s thesis is that powerful economies with their own currency can simply spend their way out of a crisis by printing money."
Obviously fell asleep when it got to the "qualifiers" section!
