by Banking and money is an area of ancient debates between post-Keynesians (and their fore-runners) and mainstream economists.

Excellent summary of "exogenous" and "endogenous" as applied to "money." This is important for understanding the relationship of finance and economics, and it underlies a good part of MMT, The descriptive aspect of which involves modeling this relationship conceptually. That is to say, MMT as a theory provides an explanation of the relationship of finance and economics in terms of institutional arrangements. One could say that the mathematical aspect of the modeling involved is provided by the accounting.
With these old debates somewhat covered, I will then discuss some of the “banking controversies” associated with Modern Monetary Theory.
Stay tuned.
