alAndar w/ Marcos & Jim023. MMT Ideas from Finding the MoneyJim and Marcos talk through five Modern Money Theory (MMT) points from the film Finding the Money.
Jim’s says watching the film brought him from being an “MMT skeptic” to being “open to these ideas” as a “helpful framework”.
Marcos feels excited by the potential that democratic deployment of public money creates for public policy, but frightened by power it may give to authoritarian governments who understand it, especially if “We, the People” continue to believe that currency-issuers are the same as currency-users.
Jim wonders if MMT can be combined with conventional econ when we talk...

SOUNDS OF FILM with Tom NeedhamDirector Maren Poitras is FINDING THE MONEY on SOUNDS with Tom NeedhamGet ready to embark on a thought-provoking journey with "FINDING THE MONEY," where American economist Stephanie Kelton explores the controversial world of Modern Money Theory (MMT).

Instead, she posits that this "debt" represents the total amount of dollars created by the US federal government that now serve as assets in our hands.As MMT gains traction in mainstream media, journalists begin to question whether we've misunderstood government spending...

KUCI: Film SchoolFinding the Money / Film School Radio interview with Director Maren PoitrasFINDING THE MONEY follows American economist Stephanie Kelton on a journey through Modern Money Theory or “MMT”. Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks ominously upwards in New York City is not actually a debt for us taxpayers at all, nor a burden for our grandchildren to pay back. Instead, Kelton describes the national debt as simply a historical record of the number of dollars created by the US federal government currently being held in pockets, as assets, by the rest of us. MMT bursts into the mainstream media, with journalists asking, “Have we been thinking about how the go...
