Summary:
Worthwhile article on MMT owing to the questions it poses. Not that MMT economists haven't addressed some of these questions. But I believe that some are still hanging. It also observes that an MMT-based world run on functional finance would look quite different from the conventional world of "sound money," especially with a Green New Deal in the offing to address the emerging challenges of global inequality of distribution and the threat of climate change. What does this imply socially, politically, and economically? It is also significant in that it attempts a systematic and comprehensive view of the challenges of making the switch from "business as usual," which is not working as people like Ray Dalio are point out, to something that is sustainable and suitable for emerging
Topics:
Mike Norman considers the following as important: MMT, MMT criticism, MMT critics
This could be interesting, too:

This could be interesting, too:
Mike Norman writes Jared Bernstein, total idiot. You have to see this to believe it.
Steve Roth writes MMT and the Wealth of Nations, Revisited
Matias Vernengo writes On central bank independence, and Brazilian monetary policy
Michael Hudson writes International Trade and MMT with Keen, Hudson

It is also significant in that it attempts a systematic and comprehensive view of the challenges of making the switch from "business as usual," which is not working as people like Ray Dalio are point out, to something that is sustainable and suitable for emerging opportunities and challenges.
This is what a critique should look like. And being systematic, it's a good start for a comprehensive debate based on relatively neutral framing.
