by Summary:
Tyler Cowen did a review of "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton, which is to be released June 9 (Amazon affiliate link). Since I have not read the book yet myself, I cannot comment on his views about the book. However, Cowen makes some criticisms of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) that are worthwhile responding to. I am turning to writing a short primer on MMT, and will probably have a chapter on critiques that I feel are useful. (My estimate is that over 90% of "MMT critiques" consist of people making stuff up, based on the contents of other "critiques.") I expect that I could use some of the discussion here as examples. The review consists of a dozen numbered short points, and I will only respond to the ones that I see as being useful, and not solely related to the book.... Bond
