Deficit terrorist term was being tossed around and then Warren Mosler name kept dominating the discussion. I didn't know who that Mosler guy was back then but he ran a blog and I started reading. Later on all the MMT-ers were always there, Tom was there for sure :) I am in Europe and American time is behind so sometimes I didn't want to go to sleep because it was so interesting to me. :) Kristjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592440548093816331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-56418511166878807092017-03-03T12:05:07.821-05:002017-03-03T12:05:07.821-05:00"Nor me.

The proliferation of understanding about MMT is a typical Internet phenomenon, and it empowers ordinary people to challenge the establishment's narratives cogently."<br /><br />I can also attest to this. I learned about MMT through YouTube channels ridiculing Peter Schiff and his crackpot "predictions." It took me a while to really understand these concepts and I was also a right-libertarian at the time. The Internet has been both a great force of change and sadly where stupid myths are still perpetuated and swallowed up by the masses.Penguin pophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438480665686684027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-74256754294288837322017-03-03T10:21:28.992-05:002017-03-03T10:21:28.992-05:00Nor me.

They are very angry about It. <br /><br />I would have never known about MMT if there was no internet. Kristjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592440548093816331noreply@blogger.com
