1/ Welcome to ep 21 of Activist #MMT. This is actually pt *TWO* of my intvw with millennial & 1J Ryan Mathis. In pt 2 we compare Marx's labor theory of value to MMT's state theory of money. He then shatters the myth that "natural" laws govern our society. activistmmt.libsyn.com/ep-21-ryan-mat…
2/ This is a special two part interview where part one is being released simultaneously on @historic_ly. In part one, Ryan and I talk about his plan for recreating our corrupt political, media, and educational institutions.
3/ Also: Along with @MMTpodcast, @CheseMacro, & #MMT Mondays: on April 14th, #MMT-ers march online. On April 22nd, to mark the 50th anniv. of Earth Day, MMT-ers come together with environmental activists & groups to #EARTHRISE. You can find out more at earthrise2020.org

1/ “Forgiving student debt is fundamentally unfair to those who played by the rules and paid back their loans.”

"Fundamentally unfair":

- Curing cancer is not unfair to those who died from cancer. No one should have ever had cancer.
2/ - Ending slavery is not unfair to those who were enslaved. No one should have ever been a slave to begin with.
- Canceling college debt and providing free education is not unfair to those who had to pay for school and were burdened by school debt.
3/ No one should have been burdened with that debt to begin with. No one should have had to spend a decade paying off their loans instead of DOING WHAT THEY EDUCATED TO DO.

You shouldn’t have had to pay for wanting to be better.

My 140 favorite quotes from The Ethics of Money Production (2008), by Jörg Guido Hülsmann
1. “#Money is omnipresent in modern life, yet the production of money does not seem to warrant any moral assessment”. J.G.Hülsmann
2. “To be sure, central bank representatives are lecturing the public on the importance of business #ethics; but their concerns do not seem to apply to themselves”. J.G.Hülsmann

👇 why I ask my students to read Adam Smith. Few know about the richness of his work and why he is considered the father of neoclassocal AND heterodox econ schools alike
E.g. Adam Smith had:
-utility AND labor theory of value
-chapters on govt & importance of public works
-the famous invisible hand metaphor is mentioned only once in the Wealth of Nations but apart from markets it was meant to govern his Theory of MORAL Sentiments.
In fact Smith kept working on the Theory of Moral Sentiments all his life. Without ethics and morality, markets didn't work.
As Amartya Sen argued, for Smith Markets Never Stood Alone

He explored his lost legacy here too:

1/ Just went on @grahamelwood to discuss some new #MMT concepts. Video dropping soon. The main concept we discussed is called reserve accounting. Understanding it makes MMT and our economy much clearer and simpler. Links to things I mentioned are below.
2/ If we don’t start making big changes we may have cloudless skies by the end of the century. If that doesn’t scare you, it should. quantamagazine.org/cloud-loss-cou… @grahamelwood
3/ This makes me feel even more urgency to teach #MMT. If people don’t understand how the economy actually functions, then there is no way that *we* will be the ones making the decisions of how to deal with this new reality. @grahamelwood

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
