MMT and Mosler is a treasure for the world. Listen and learn. Follow him and read his incredibly important texts.

I think that he is up there with Bourdieu, just on the subject of economics. & that Mosler and Bourdieu are complimentary ag neoliberalism

Fiscal rules are distracting the electorate from the real choices a government makes. It is about resources, which are limited. Money is not a problem - the state-owned Bank of England is the currency issuer for pound sterling and cannot run out of it.
