Description
The New York Times declared a 'victory lap' for MMT - but is that justified? Ben Ritz and Eric Leeper join the show to discuss Modern Monetary Theory. What exactly does MMT say, and why is it so hard to pin down MMT's advocates to a firm position? What does the current inflation mean for the theory, and why don't mainstream economists accept it? Ultimately, what's wrong with MMT?
