Patricia Cohen — Modern Monetary Theory Finds an Embrace in an Unexpected Place: Wall Street

Summary:
Breaking a rule not to give the Times exposure for a variety of reasons since a pretty decent article on MMT appears in the "paper of record" in the Economy section. No doubt that many of the nay-sayers are upset by what amounts to Wall Street endorsement of the basic ideas of MMT, if not the all policy recommendations.
