Welcome to our website. We hope you will find the information here clear and accessible. This brief guide will help you find the information that’s right for you.
On the top menu you will find the following:
Who We Are: Introduces the GIMMS Team. The drop-down menu also contains our Events page and Privacy Policy.
Objectives: Spells out briefly what GIMMS will do and how it will do it. The drop-down menu also shows our international and UK supporters. Some of these have been kind enough to send videos and written messages of endorsement for our project.
Basics: The Basics page is a primer to the subject itself entitled Introduction to Modern Monetary Theory. The drop-down menu contains a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section which gives short introductory notes to various issues designed for the general reader. There are links to videos or blogs on these FAQs to give more detail, if we have wakened your appetite to know more.
Job Guarantee: Still staying at the introductory level, this has a section of its own because the Job Guarantee, though central to MMT, also encompasses a wider social policy arena.
Fact Sheets: Aimed at a developing level of enquiry, our fact sheets are more detailed and cover a wider range of topics than the FAQs. The links given for further reading are also more comprehensive.
Resources: Here we aim to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for UK and international resources, from the straightforward to the highly complex. With a range of styles from the academic to the combative, we hope everyone will find the information provided in a way to suit them. We also have a tools section under development. Our toolkits will be designed for lobbying and educating decision-makers and the general public that it really is time to change the way we talk about the economy.
Blogs: The drop down menu has 3 titles – The MMT Lens, The Reblog and MMT Long Read. The MMT Lens blogsite will have weekly blogs looking at the news on economics and public service though the lens of MMT. Hosted by Sara and Prue, we will welcome contributions from MMT-ers from across the UK, as well as our own GIMMS comments and reflections. The Re-Blog will re-post from other blogs (with permission) both to bring together a wider range of views and to signpost our readers to other sites of interest and the MMT Long Read will have academic papers and longer blog posts.
