totally agree

also, i read 3 books by MMTers. That's a real suffering. 10/10 masochists recommends

owie, torture. what books? i should at least give them a fair shake...

i don't think you should. but here we go:

steph kelton: The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy

Mitchell: Modern Monetary Theory, Bill and Warren's Excellent Adventure

and not sure who wrote: seven deadly innocent frauds

know thy enemy

This how I feel about most content now. Canโ€™t listen to traditional finance pods I used to listen to, infuriating

it's a good problem

Yeah glad to know better ๐Ÿ˜Š
