Post-Keynesians (rightly) love to lambast orthodox economics for their willful ignorance of intellectual history, but they equally suffer from willful ignorance of the history of *how to actual build successful intellectual movements* which is why they by & large don't have one.
"Ah but MMT has all those Mosler millions, it's not a fair fight!" they shout from their office at the Bob Pollin Center for Definitely Not Paid For By Millionaire Money Heterodox Economics.
My favorite is the concern trolls who pretend like they have any credibility in evaluating what it takes to achieve an intellectual revolution. "MMT will never take off unless it does what I, someone with absolutely no history of influencing anything, would do in their position"
Buddy, we know you'd do it differently. You did do it differently. That's why you're writing the same fucking paper for the sixteenth time in a journal that only six of your mates are gonna read. Tell me more about how to change the world, you clearly have so much to teach us.
