For years, economics textbooks have included a "money story": once upon a time, we bartered, trading chickens for cows. This was hard. If the going rate is 8 chickens for a cow and you only need 6 chickens, how could the chicken farmer make change? 3/
Inflation is here, and there are a *lot* of explanations for it. People who worry about the monetary supply blame it on excessive money creation during the pandemic and uppity workers demanding higher wages:

Anti-monopolists blame inflation on price-gouging. CEOs in concentrated industries give investor presentations where they chortle, rub their hands, twirl their mustaches, and announce their profits are sky-high thanks to their ability to raise prices:

You can't turn around these days without bumping into scary inflation talk, and with reason: asset bubbles, supply chain shocks and energy geopolitics are on their way to wiping out the wage gains eked out by low-waged workers during the pandemic's labor shortage. 1/

The underlying message of this scare-talk is that we've been too generous with "essential workers," by allowing them to inch a little closer to a living wage, and now it's time to roll that back, for their own good. 3/

Biden rightfully calls the $2.2t stimulus package a "once-in-a-generation investment in America," but as @AOC points out, it's not nearly enough - the $40b for housing nationwide would barely cover the bill for NYC alone.

The country and the Democrats can't afford to smallball this one. The REAL debts we've racked up - infrastructure, health, education and climate - matter far, far more than the "national debt" that goldbug bedwetters never stfu about.

As @StephanieKelton writes in the @nytimes, the US can't run out of US dollars; debts do not constrain federal spending. Instead, the US government is constrained by resources: available workers, idle factories, raw materials.

Accountancy is more likely to be mocked than celebrated (or condemned), but accountants, far more than poets, are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

Though "bean counters" are employed by firms, they are notionally bound by a professional code of ethics every bit as serious as the Hippocratic Oath: "count things honestly." Without an accurate accounting of quantities, you can't make good decisions on quality.

Though accountancy concerns itself with counting things, it is inextricably bound up with the realm of ideas, and accounting conventions (how you account for things) are philosophical matters, not empirical ones.

Kelton is one of the leading proponents of #ModernMonetaryTheory, which describes how money actually works, as a series of accounting flows, and makes some profound observations about the implications of understanding how government spending actually works.

I've written about Kelton's work before:

But here's the shortest possible summary I can give:
Money ISSUERS (sovereign states) have a different relationship to money and debt than money USERS (everyone else: people, companies, local governments).
