Many of our economist colleagues are more worried about the embarrassment of a presidential adviser who doesn't understand the monetary system than they are about using that monetary system to address more effectively and urgently an existential threat. theguardian.com/environment/ar…
Trust Engineers, Not Economists?
3 axioms of MMT: 1. Monetary sovereign gives face no purely financial budget constraints. 2. All economies & govts face real & ecological limits as to what can be produced & consumed. 3. The fed govt’s financial deficit is everybody elses financial surplus. (Prof Steve Hail)
One wonders what it might take for the FOMC staff economists to drop their ideological blinders and realize inflation is not always and everywhere a matter of labor market tightness. There's this thing called market power and markups...profit driven inflation is a real thing.

'The most significant price rises this quarter were Rents (+2.1%), Secondary education (+6.1%), Tertiary education (+6.5%) and Medical and hospital services (+2.3%).' (ABS) No point in raising rates. People saying so have a childish theory of inflation. Address the causes of it.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers says we "can't fund everything we would like to in the budget." Imagine the progress we will make on the serious issues we face when we finally move the focus from what we can 'fund' to what we can _resource_.
You can't annoy me by being anti-MMT out of ignorance. That was me in 2004. I know where you are coming from. I hope you watch the movie and think again. I didn't have the movie and it took me quite a while to really understand MMT. Talking with bankers helped me. Good luck.

@MikeFellman Yes, the Treasury is required by current policy to borrow. However, as a 'walk around,' the dollars that buy Treasury securities (from inception) are created by the Federal Reserve Bank (also a policy) to facilitate. On a consolidated basis, 'gov' 'borrows from itself.'
Take a minute to appreciate the statement, and then marvel at the fact that an editor actually made it a serious headline
For anyone who wants an* MMT take regarding government bond issuance, this is a great read from @StevenHailAus and @DavidjoyAd1 *(NB. I said “an” and not “the”, but I’m sure the core MMT thinkers would endorse this) global-isp.org/wp-content/upl…
Just in case you come across anyone shedding tears for the mainstream economist who was unable to explain what government debt represents, people should remember: the idea that govt debt is “unsustainable” has been used for years to prevent spending to save lives & the planet.
If mainstream econ had a decent grasp of the monetary system and the mechanics of government finance prior to MMT, it did an excellent job hiding it from the world for decades.
@jc_econ It is suggested in the film that MMT contributed nothing new, yet the person making the claim was peddling $4T in deficit reduction in the wake of the GFC with massive slack in the economy, while serving under a president who said, “we’re out of money” when asked about government…

Watching @StephanieKelton movie @FindingMoneyDoc on AppleTV now. A true paradigm shift shaking the tectonic plates underlying the financial system.
Functional finance, chartalism, endogenous money, sectoral balance/stock-flow consistent modeling, etc all existed prior to MMT. But they weren’t (and still aren’t) foundations of mainstream macro, which helps to explain why MMT was seen as so “revolutionary” when we synthesized…

A Future Made in Australia cannot include new gas projects. The future is green, not gas - green hydrogen, green ammonia, green iron, green metals, green minerals.

Absolutely @PaulBongiorno. Australian must vote YES at UN to recognise #Palestine as a State free from #Israel.
