Silly “MMT” Drama — Brian Romanchuk

Summary:
This passage demonstrates that Murphy understands the accounting side of “MMT operations analysis” — not a big ask for a part time professor of accounting — but does not grasp economic theory nor its context.

Actually, I was thinking of doing so yesterday but didn't have the time. Many seem to equate MMT with the institutional analysis, which is descriptive, and either forget about the macro theory, which is a causal explanation with factual implications, or else they misunderstand it, usually by reading it
