@PatriciaNPino Zack needs to explain that gilts are a privilege not an economic imperative or a fundamental human right. Say he’s prepared to take the privilege away (or return to tap system) if bond holders abuse it, and that he will not be intimidated because he understands that the purpose…

More foolish propaganda from self-satisfied people who think everything is fine the way it is and that they have nothing to learn.

MMT is no 'conspiracy theory' and does NOT say govts should 'print and spend as much money as they like'.

Only an idiot or knave would claim so.

@spikedonline MMT isn't a conspiracy theory, nor does it say the government can print and spend as much money as they like. One expects more from journalists. Please interview an MMT economist.
