Great points. I enjoyed Kelton’s book about MMT, how it accurately describes the paradigm as it currently exists, but what kills me is she calls out the problem where we use it to find Boeing and oligopolies- hand waves “but it doesn’t have to be that way, we could use funds for good!”

Yes, we could and should. But we don’t and haven’t for a very long time. Therefore we should have stronger money and more accountability, less debts and deficits, until we show an ability to spend more productively.

Looking forward to seeing Oppenheimer, haven’t had a chance yet tho.
