But I have some real problems with Mosler's ideas (especially government spending as "simply a matter of changing numbers," in his Dallas address).<br /><br />I wrote up an evaluation of his ideas. It is scheduled to post on 4 October. (I try to stay a few days ahead!) Maybe you would keep an eye on me and help me straighten out some of my misperceptions of MMT? That would be great...<br /><br />ArtThe Arthurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501331051089400601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098432983500045934.post-69737823346993606652010-09-27T21:12:41.770-04:002010-09-27T21:12:41.770-04:00Arthur

Its the only paradigm I've discovered that makes sense, that is internally consistent. Most of the other paradigms focus on finance, interest rates and the such. MMT focuses on real economic activity and a governments role as currency issuer in supporting the welfare of its citizens.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139782404004492965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098432983500045934.post-50962659003850843012010-09-27T06:32:40.439-04:002010-09-27T06:32:40.439-04:00Hey Greg.

Mosler's "Seven Deadly" thing is *long* and, what I read of it, sounds like he just wants to print money, but doesn't want to call it that. (I can only imagine why!)<br /><br />On NewEconomicPerspectives I found -- of all things -- an interview with Mosler. Was good though, to see Mosler's ideas restated for maybe a different audience.<br /><br />Billy blog -- I ran across it once before and liked it -- but this time I didn't have the stamina for it. Have to try again later.<br /><br />These guys are all MMT, right? New to me, I'm trying to figure that out. Thanks again for the links.<br /><br />Hey, do you prepare your comments in Notepad or somethin' and then paste'em into the Comment Form? (Just wondering.) Sometimes I do that. Sometimes there's a blogger glitch, and I <i>wish</i> i did. <br /><br />Only thing, I gotta turn WordWrap off before I copy from Notepad.<br /><br />ArtThe Arthurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501331051089400601noreply@blogger.com
