👆Printing💰does not cause inflation. From Mat Forstater’s (@mattybram) 1999 "Functional Finance & Full Employment: Lessons from Lerner for Today?” (levyinstitute.org/publications/f…):

“The printing of money is not an instrument of policy. It is only a servant of these policies...”👇

👆Besides, #MMT is *really* not about "printing money."👇

👆Besides, very few of us even understand what inflation really is.
