when did everything become a fucking episode of master chef?
There are 2 reasons why governments 'borrow'. 1. To provide a 100% secure, fixed rate interest income to those who have money. 2. Propaganda - to provide credible sounding reasons to the ignorant majority why the government don't want to fund many, usually socialist, policies.
Being a high school teacher, I teach (mainstream)economics to 11th and 12th graders. After reading and understanding Modern Monetary Theory, one thing is clear what an utter crap I teach (particularly macroeconomics) to my students in school! Mainstream economics is economic…

Monetarists hate MMT, since MMT shows how the government, by choice, are giving out huge amounts of free money to the already rich.MMT threatens this gravy train if enough people get it. People have been murdered because of the risk of loosing money, it wont be the last time.

Jeremy Corbyn's worst result in any national election while Labour leader was 32%. In the 2017 UK general election Corbyn gained 40%. Starmer just got 34% in the English local elections. Don't fall for the propaganda about his popularity.
In the uk we might say ‘fancy a cuppa coffee? In Greece , Coupa means ‘mug’ I wonder if ‘cuppa’ came from ‘cup of’ , or the Greek word coupa.
Lets start an argument..... How well do you know MMT?...
Every day £billions get given, unearned, to the wealthiest people in the country. They are bond holders. The £s are created out of thin air as they are typed into their accts. If you want to cut the debt, without cutting welfare - stop issuing bonds and hold interest rates at 0.

Either: - They are right wing because they don't understand fiat currency economics. - They use false economics propaganda, to scare people into adopting an opinion against their best interest. Stupid, or Evil. What is it, June?

480 Followers 1K Following Academic in Film and Narrative, freelance writer. Personal life on IG at @etrimat@tonywestonuk I think that there is the crux of the issue for anyone who already has the resources to live very comfortably. If governments rejected trickledown economics and directed better funding to more essential services, the available resources pie would be divided far more fairly.
@JohnstonFredJ @CollinRugg @FindingMoneyDoc I bet you are ok with the government spending 800billion+ per year on the military but would cry yourself to sleep if the government used that same money to feed people instead.
@thebamfbeeij Oops you don't want to go there...
If there is anything I can do to help you through these tough day's of taking constant L's from MMT. Perhaps we can get you and Per together, and do your own Documentary. Just enjoy all the media exposure MMT is getting, and keep handing out dusty awards at the Mises Institute.
welp I just watched and it's as bad as it possibly could be. Meaning, it is a very well done documentary, with famous orthodox analysts looking like fools, while the MMTers just want to help by centrally planning the economy and deciding how rich you're allowed to be.
@StevenHailAus It took one reply to one of my misinformed posts about taxes on Facebook followed by a few videos and questions before I grasped the basic fundamentals of MMT. I think many people are more fearful of the implications of MMT and how it could reshape society to their disadvantage.
@LarryBartowski It is an amazing and empowering journey, accessing a lens which showed in advance Clinton surpluses unsustainable, finance deregulation likewise, Japan would not face crisis, QE ineffective, Obama stimulus too small, Euro badly designed, etc etc etc...
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.
@skwp @StephanieKelton MMT is not central planning. Governments spending money to facilitate itself and it's citizens is not central planning. All MMT is showing is that the fear mongering about government spending is silly. Also all governments centrally plan. The question is the degree.
@LawrenceLepard @skwp @StephanieKelton LOL I'm not the one who follows discredited theories or reckons that inflation comes from making the magic market fairies angry by creating more money than we tax back 🤡🤡🤡
@tonywestonuk @iaboni_carlo Careful! Buying has limits. Spending does not. 🤑😜
@jbhearn @tonywestonuk You're back? Same challenge: 1) Skim any publication by any economists who #TeachMMT, or just Tony's tweet. 2) Find a factual or logical error. 3) Quote it. 4) Explain why it's wrong. You can't find errors. Worse, your errors have kneecapped Britain since at least Thatcher.
when did everything become a fucking episode of master chef?
I really miss the intelligent tone of BBC docs like the one I RT’d below. Today it feels like everything has to be presented like it’s a children’s birthday cake recipe. When did we stop being serious? Some things need seriousness.
