I’m not reading that and I guarentee other people aren’t either.
I can’t make you read, but don’t speak for other people.
I flatly disagree with MMT
Maybe if you read the articles & watched the videos, you’d understand what MMT actually says, instead of what its detractors say it says using straw man arguments. The bourgeoisie have a vested interest in you not understanding it, and they have think tanks working to make sure you don’t understand it.

Regardless of whether I agree with MMT this is a much more useful thing to do vs linking two posts with no explanation
And fyi I have engaged with MMT enough to know I disagree with it, I have read Michael Hudson and engaged with podcasts with people who subscribe to it.

Okay. If MMT is wrong about how fiat money works, then how does it work?
I have better things to do with my time, then debate MMT on lemmy, or debate on lemmy in general.
