Slightly belatedly, this week GIMMS celebrate our 1st Anniversary 🥂🍾
A big thank you to all our followers and supporters who have contributed to our efforts over the last year to push for a broader awareness of #MMT From our London launch event last October.....

Where we announced the launch of our website, featuring our own #MMT factsheets with links and videos to the work of core academics, plus our searchable Zotero database of published papers.
We continue to enrich our site with our weekly #MMTLens blog.

Many thanks to our Advisory Board; Warren Mosler, Bill Mitchell, Randall Wray, Mathew Forstater, Stephanie Kelton, Pavlina Tcherneva, Fadhel Kaboub,Rohan Grey, Stephen Hail, Deborah Harrington & Jessica Ormerod for their advice, support and faith in our project.

In February we were thrilled to publish an original paper written by @wbmosler & @PhilArmstrong58 - a unique insight into the significance of central bank interest rates and policies.

The 1st European MMT Conference in Berlin, gave us a fantastic opportunity to meet up with our #MMT friends from around the EU, share common ground and work together building an agenda to harness our enthusiasm for economic understanding & justice.

Introducing ourselves to @johnmcdonnellMP and his advisers..... encouraging them to grasp the #MMT lens and start educating their membership to challenge the damaging neoliberal framing of our nation’s finances.

In collaboration with Macmillan Publishing, an event to celebrate the much awaited #MMT textbook. A great achievement for Bill Mitchell, Randall Wray and Martin Watts
‘Macroeconomics’
and the announcement of the much needed #MMTUniversity #MMTed

In May we welcomed @wbmosler @billy_blog and Martin Watts to Birmingham for a presentation on #MMT and its implications for progressive policies in the U.K.

“Training the Trainers - Part 1” our @billy_blog seminar in London for #MMT activists from around the U.K. to learn the essential techniques for spreading the word to families, friends and in our communities.

Warren & Bill made the most of their UK trip in May with excellent presentations in Edinburgh & Glasgow for our colleagues at @MMTScotland

You can’t beat an #MMT meet-up!
Abergavenny, Nottingham, London, Leeds and Manchester... our thanks to our Associate Members, Philip Armstrong & Alan Hutchinson for their entertaining and inspiring presentations.

October and GIMMS headed to Brighton for the @UKLabour Conference Fringe - a well received #GreenNewDeal presentation by @billy_blog

“Training the Trainers - Part 2”
An opportunity for @billy_blog to present his latest #MMTed teaching series to an audience of keen educators from around the U.K. Our video of this event will follow soon.

To rounding up our first years efforts, our GIMMS stand at @TheGreenParty Conference proved a successful means to engage with progressives seeking a Green agenda, with @PhilArmstrong58 again proving the #MMT message is one audiences are keen to hear.

Thanks again to all our supporters, for coming along to our events & sharing our posts. Sign up to our newsletter and we’ll send you the latest info on our events.
Here’s to another productive year pushing #MMT in the U.K. #SpreadTheWord
Cheers! 🥂
