What the fuck is wrong with people? Asshole wrote four posts in which he doesn't mention MMT at all, barely mentions the book, and then when you put a gun to his goddamn head he resorts to referring to a paper written years before. See, this is my beef: this shit isn't hard. It's typical pseudoacademic econobullshit: take a common term, wrap it in jargon, then act like you've created fucking magic. NO. Fuckin' MMT is FOUR GODDAMN POINTS (even the fucking wikipedia gets it down to 5, of which 5 is "the government doesn't need to issue bonds" but considering how hand-wavey MMT wants to be about the concept of "bonds" I don't see how it needs to be its own point). You don't need four fucking blog posts and a twittertoss to goddamn Paul Krugman to do a fucking book review.
