A different blog post today. On November 29, 2019, I sat down with my friend Warren Mosler in Newcastle, Australia while he was on his more or less annual visit to see us. We decided to film a conversation we had about the origins of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), how we came to it, the current state of MMT and future trends, including being part of the narrative surround the Green Transition.

In Democracies Are Fighting for Their Lives, Joergen Oerstroem Moeller described how democracies...

AT&T is laying off thousands of workers at the beginning of the year without severance pay.  Instead, the employees will have to train their foreign replacements.  At the same time, the company saved $3B thanks to Trump's tax cuts.  Trickle down economics is a cruel joke.
