• v • t • e Modern Monetary Theory or Modern Money Theory ( MMT) is a MMT is controversial, and is actively debated with dialogues about its theoretical integrity, Principles [ ] MMT's main tenets are that a government that issues its own • Can pay for goods, services, and financial assets without a need to first collect money in the form of taxes or debt issuance in advance of such purchases; • Cannot be forced to default on debt denominated in its own currency; • Is limited in its money creation and purchases only by • Recommends strengthening automatic stabilisers to control • Issues bonds as a monetary policy device, rather than as a funding device. The first four MMT tenets do not conflict with mainstream economics understanding of how money creation and inflation works. However, MMT economists disagree with mainstream economics about the fifth tenet, on the impact of government deficits on interest rates. History [ ] MMT synthesizes ideas from the State Theory of Money of Credit Theory of Money of banking system Knapp wrote in 1905 that "money is a creature of law" rather than a The prevailing view of money was that it had evolved from systems of Alfred Mitchell-Innes wrote in 1914 that money exists not as a Whenever a tax is imposed, each taxpayer becomes responsible for the redemption of a small part of the debt which the government has contracted by its issues of money, whether coins, certificates, notes, drafts on the treasury, or by whatever name this money is c...

Professional Association Recommendation Recommendations for use of the instrument from the Neurology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association’s Multiple Sclerosis Taskforce (MSEDGE), Parkinson’s Taskforce (PD EDGE), Spinal Cord Injury Taskforce (SCI EDGE), Stroke Taskforce (StrokEDGE), Traumatic Brain Injury Taskforce (TBI EDGE), and Vestibular Taskforce (Vestibular EDGE) are listed below. These recommendations were developed by a panel of research and clinical experts using a modified Delphi process.

The United States Treasury Getty Just a few days ago, I mentioned on Twitter that I have no patience for getting involved in the current public debate over Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). So much of it ends up as ad hominem, straw man, or people talking past each other that it seemed like an utter waste of time. Well, I changed my mind! Paul Krugman had already been in the fight against MMT for some years, and now eminent mainstream economists Lawrence Summers and Kenneth Rogoff have thrown their hats into the ring. I know I’m not going to settle anything by adding my two cents, but I just have to get this off my chest. Long story short: Krugman/Summers/Rogoff are wrong. Before I get into details, I want to make it clear where I stand. I don’t agree with everything in MMT. However, those aspects with which I disagree have never been part of the public debate and they make no difference whatsoever to the policy recommendations. To the general public, they would be minutia (although they might be worth a couple of journal articles!). I mention this simply to assure the reader that I’m actually critical of some aspects of MMT and am not simply toeing the party line here. Having said that, however, in the context of the current debate the MMTers are right. To illustrate this, we first need a review of what MMT (or what I just think of as macroeconomics done properly) looks like. This will obviously have to be brief. I’m focusing in particular on the Federal Job Guarantee. The Co...

Put simply, modern monetary theory decrees that such governments do not rely on taxes or borrowing for spending since they can print as much money as they need and are the monopoly issuers of the currency. Since their budgets aren’t like a regular household’s, their policies should not be shaped by fears of a rising • Modern monetary theory (MMT) challenges conventional beliefs about how the government interacts with the economy, the nature of money, the use of taxes, and the significance of budget deficits. • These beliefs, critics say, are a hangover from the gold standard era and are no longer accurate, useful, or necessary. • MMT is used in policy debates to argue for such progressive legislation as universal healthcare and other public programs for which governments claim to not have enough money to fund. Core Principles of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) The central idea of modern monetary theory is that governments with a fiat currency system under their control can and should print (or create with a few keystrokes in today’s digital age) as much money as they need to spend because they cannot go broke or be insolvent unless a political decision to do so is taken. • Large government debt isn’t the precursor to collapse that we have been led to believe it is; • Countries like the U.S. can sustain much greater deficits without cause for concern; and • A small deficit or surplus can be extremely harmful and cause a recession since deficit spending is what builds people’s ...
