What is Modern Monetary Theory? Understanding the alternative economic theory that's becoming more mainstream — Melanie Lockert

 Bizarre article. Claims to explain MMT and quotes only people that don't understand MMT. Don't they have an editor at Insider, or at least a competent one. Such is the state of American journalism and why I generally link to non-US and non-UK sources.

This is a pretty good summary Tom… better than majority of others.., just sticks with the facts,,,

This is certainly accurate:

“ The Federal Interest rate should be at 0%. Many MMT supporters believe that the "natural rate of interest is zero" and there should be no bond sales. ”

Most summaries don’t include that…
