Replying to Avatar Michael Snoyman

I read half a book on Modern Monetary Theory. I couldn’t stomach more. The basic premise was “since we print money as a nation, debt isn’t a problem because we can always print more money,” with some caveats about inflation as if it was a crazy extreme corner cases of money printing we’d have to try really hard to hit.

The scariest thing about the book: if you grant the premises of Keynesian economics and the veracity of fiat currency, the conclusions make perfect sense. Just shows how absolutely insane the current monetary order is.

Great point! Within the system, it makes perfect sense. Looking from the outside, it's insanity.
