Summary:
Most of the financial "professionals" writing on (against) MMT are clueless about both MMT and also the basics of finance in institutional arrangments. They think that the world is still on the gold standard, for example, likely because they strongly believe that it ought to be. But beyond that, also clueless about how the accounting works at the macro level. A very few do understand MMT, however. Paul McCulley of Pimco and James Montier of GMO, for example. Here is another voice to add to the list of those that actually get MMT and therefore finance. Pass it on.

Here is an alternative viewpoint by an economist that is also a financial professional who actually cites MMT literature — but gets it wrong anyway.
