Ha! Startled by this title as I literally just finished watching John Oliver's segment asking Trump to drop out.
ReplyDeleteIs Trump trying to not win, ala Ross (only defeat Bush) Perot?
ReplyDeleteWith Hillary, we get MMT.
ReplyDelete1. Stephanie Kelton is an economics professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She has served as the chief economist for the Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee, and as an advisor to Bernie Sanders. Kelton is probably best known for her central work on what's called Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)..... It emphasizes that debt issued by the federal government really doesn't operate like any other form of debt, because the government (which includes the central bank) can ultimately create all the money it wants. So it can't suffer a debt crisis, but can only create too-high inflation. And finally, that the amount of money the government puts into the economy via spending, versus the amount it takes out via taxes, is a key part of the overall ecology that determines the supply of jobs.
4. Pavlina Tcherneva is the economics chair at Bard College, and a research scholar at the Levy Economics Institute. She's cut from much the same cloth as Kelton, but Tcherneva has devoted particular energy to the idea of a job guarantee: Using the government's monetary and fiscal powers to launch what would effectively be a "public option" for employment. If a community needs litter cleaned up, a green space revitalized, or its water pipes repaired, then a job guarantee would connect the unemployed with those opportunities. That would ensure that decent and well-paying work is something always on offer to everyone in the economy.
Why not? A fiat money government is not "revenue constrained" and can accomplish all these mah-velous things, right?
