BBI #154: Deficit Myth — 8 Building an Economy for the People
Details
We're wrapping up our weekly series on Stephanie Kelton's "The Deficit Myth" by discussing Chapter 8, entitled "Building an Economy for the People." The economy exists for the benefit of the people. If it didn't provide some benefit, then there would be no point in having an economy in the first place. What can we do to help the economy serve its purpose to the fullest? MMT has certain answers to this question. Where do we agree with MMT? Where do we disagree?
