https://twitter.com/DChanceGold/status/1082373671983886338 As Bill Mitchell said at #mmtconf18 , "MMT is a lens." Sure, you can be a right-winger & agree with some MMT macro theses. But MMT necessarily illuminates financial hierarchies, which is extremely problematic for the right...

If you're a right-winger who agrees with some MMT theses, you can find yourself in the awkward position of saying things like, "I know we can afford to end poverty, but I think we should keep it for these other reasons."

OTOH, if you're a right-winger, and the only thing keeping you from moving leftward is a false notion of fiscal scarcity, which MMT destroys....congratulations and welcome to the other side of the aisle!
