I don't mean that SK is ...<i>Why do you say this?</i><br /><br />I don't mean that SK is actually the most important personality but arguably the most important economic influencer, which is the author's point, I think. <br /><br />The debate has shifted substantially and The Deficit Myth appear to play a large role in this. Of course, it didn't come out of nowhere. We are already in "the last mile," as Bill liked to say, considering the history of MMT and its influence from the outset in the mid-90s. <br /><br />Now the debate is shifting to the inflation constraint instead of fiscal responsibility, and now, just about every oppositional seems to feel compelled to mention MMT, often in quotes to indicate disapproval.<br /><br />And I think that the appearance of posts like this on financial blog and in the financial press is an indication of it. Again, SK is to some degree behind this since see spent years addressing financial gatherings. <br /><br />She put in the time and effort and now it is showing. <br /><br />Has the last mile closed?
