An underdog group of economists is on a mission to instigate a paradigm shift by flipping our understanding of the national debt, and the nature of money, upside down.
was surprised it was pro-MMT; I was expecting more of a libertarian / pro-bitcoin stance.
despite being diametrically opposed to mmt, I actually found myself on agreeing with them on a lot of the mechanisms around money printing...but solutions I think they are totally crazy on.
They say "printing the money is the easy part...controlling inflation isn't" is analogous to saying "adding the zero on returns" for bernie madoff was the easy part..."convincing everyone that the returns were legit was the hard part"...
