It would be a reasonable measure to gauge the penetration of 'MMT'. I think Mike's videos are best for this since they seem to be the most unpopular :P, sry Mike. Thus, the watcher who agrees with Mike's ideas must be listening closely to what is being said rather than the context of the discussion.<br /><br />Ohh just a reminder, it was exactly this video that brought me towards MMT in the first place. I remember thinking WTF is this guy on about, but it was consistent with an observation I had just made; there was no relationship between debt levels and GDP growth.Shaun Hingstonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-68832577134219947482012-02-22T19:48:05.992-05:002012-02-22T19:48:05.992-05:00As MMT breaks out, it may present an opportunity f...As MMT breaks out, it may present an opportunity for something on TV.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-77130962294513292462012-02-22T17:47:50.695-05:002012-02-22T17:47:50.695-05:00As a matter of fact, some cable producer if you ar...As a matter of fact, some cable producer if you are reading this, get a moron from a ratings agency on and then get Mike on opposite them and let them debate the issue of the US govt "credit rating"... that would be a stellar show!Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-26243718451538425462012-02-22T17:43:37.105-05:002012-02-22T17:43:37.105-05:00Mike this is too good...
