This week, Dr. Stephanie Kelton joins the show to discuss how American politicians totally misunderstand the national debt and how the Federal government can use fiscal policy to create a just and sustainable society. Her book, The Deficit Myth, explains Modern Monetary Theory and shows why America can and must spend big on just climate solutions or we'll create the real intergenerational debt that matters.
