Alex Hughes — Economists in 2017: What Can They Agree On?

Summary:
MMT is mentioned, but the author buys into the criticism of MMT based on assuming central bank and Treasury consolidation, and he misses the key concept of Treasury issuance being a reserve drain in his criticism. He mentions Stephanie Kelton and gives a shout out to Scott Fullwiler, too. The post is also interesting as a look at popularized economics. Hughes cites an Izabella Kaminska post at FT Alphaville on MMT that is worth reading or re-reading as the case may be:  Why MMT is like an autostereogram. Kaminska cites a previous post of hers, but the link is broken. Here it is:  Yes Virginia, there really is Modern Monetary Theory.
