Boston Basic Income #144: CMT in Context
Details
At Boston Basic Income we often view the economy through the lens of Consumer Monetary Theory (CMT). But how are others thinking about basic income and the role of money? Austin Mackell has attempted to place CMT in context by cataloging various perspectives. He has placed the perspectives along two axes:
- Pro-UBI vs. Anti-UBI
- Soft Money vs. Hard Money
Austin will be joining us to discuss how he thinks about this. The reading for this week is his recent Medium story entitled "The Monetary Political Compass."
