The thing is with the Platonist Art Degreed Monetarists, they are NOT attempting education… they are imposing policy… they already have been educated…
So these authors caution the reader against the use of dogmatism in education… ok maybe you could see that… but in policy advocacy nobody is trying to educate anyone…
Imposing policy is NOT EDUCATION… (btw MMT academics would do well to continuously remind themselves of this) … so Platonist Art Degree dogmatism becomes again preferred…
So it’s really out of place for MMT academic people to whine and complain that “you haven’t read the MMT literature!” like they do all the time… I would remind them that these people are NOT in your f-ing classrooms… They are advocating for policies…
