by Summary:
Interesting from the perspective of a "progressive" criticism of MMT. It worth looking at to see how difficult it is going to be to get beyond ideological preconceptions. The author has taken the time to read The Deficit Myth and the recently published MMT macro textbook. The criticism is not that MMT is "wrong," but rather than it misrepresents some things that "progressives" get right.
