Just want to say thanks to a few people for helping me understand macroeconomics and teaching me #MMT , and I need to start with @StevenHailAus - a great communicator who has always been there to answer questions personally and in depth. Thanks, Steven! Also joint top of the list is @sdgrumbine and @elliswinningham - unrelenting energy, courage, passion and outspokenness. Guys, thanks for teaching me #MMT and making it 🤘

Dear non-MMT economists,

I’m sorry that your feelings are getting hurt lately.

I know you think all MMT advocates act and speak as one, so here, let me treat you all as one entity and tell you on behalf of all of us, why sometimes we might come across a bit testy. We study, we learn, the clock is ticking. We lose our jobs, our standard of living declines, our public services are deliberately underfunded to the point of collapse and those least able to fend for themselves in our communities suffer and die.
