Right this minute, Elon #Musk and the #Trump administration are trying to subject America to a rapid program of 💥destructive austerity.
There is no one better to discuss the economic implications of this than the economist and professor #Stephanie #Kelton.
A former chief economist to the Senate Budget Committee and economic advisor to Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns,
Kelton is the author of
“The Deficit Myth,”
the book that catapulted the ideas of #Modern #Monetary #Theory into the mainstream.
Much of Kelton’s career has been spent on dismantling the intellectual underpinnings of the idea that the government cannot afford to help us all.
I spoke to her about the Republican economic agenda, inflation, crypto, Donald Trump’s inexplicable beliefs, and what the feckless Democrats should be doing now.
Our conversation, lightly edited for length and clarity, is below.
