À propos de ce contenu audio

'Game-changing ... Read it!' - Mariana Mazzucato

In a world of epic, overlapping crises, Stephanie Kelton is an indispensable source of moral clarity ... the truths that she teaches about money, debt, and deficits give us the tools we desperately need to build a safe future for all. Read it - then put it to use. - Naomi Klein

The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society.

Any ambitious proposal - ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to Medicare for all or preventing the coming climate apocalypse - inevitably sparks questions: how can we afford it? How can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton points out how misguided those questions really are by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximize our potential as a society.

We've been thinking about government spending in the wrong ways, Kelton argues, on both sides of the political aisle. Everything that both liberal/progressives and conservatives believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending in the economy is wrong, especially the fear that deficits will endanger long-term prosperity.

Through illuminating insights about government debt, deficits, inflation, taxes, the financial system, and financial constraints on the federal budget, Kelton dramatically changes our understanding of how to best deal with important issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs and building infrastructure. Rather than asking the self-defeating question of how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton guides us to ask: which deficits actually matter? What is the best way to balance the risk of inflation against the benefits of a society that is more broadly prosperous, safer, cleaner, and secure?

With its important new ways of understanding money, taxes, and the critical role of deficit spending, MMT busts myths that prevent us from taking action because we can't get beyond the question of how to pay for it.


'The best book on rethinking economics that anyone will find right now.' - Richard Murphy, Political Economist and author of The Joy of Tax

    Commentaires

    Kelton is to modern monetary theory what Milton Friedman was to American conservatives for a half century - conversational, fierce, relentless.
    Kelton's game-changing book on the myths around government deficits is both theoretically rigorous and empirically entertaining. It reminds us that money is not limited, only our imagination of what to do with it. After you read it you will never think of the public purse as a household economy again. Read it! (Mariana Mazzucato, author of The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy)

    The best book on rethinking economics that anyone will find right now.
    In the wake of the financial impact of the coronavirus, she's having a moment ... she's become a rock star in her field. (Ben Hoyle)
    Kelton is a razor-sharp writer ... smashing shibboleths of conventional economic wisdom.
    This book is going to be influential. (Martin Wolf)
    One of the most important and accessible books ever written about money
    Kelton's book achieves a revolution in political economy.
    A leading light in modern monetary theory.
    [Kelton] has succeeded in instigating a round of heretical questioning, essential for a post-Covid-19 world, where the pantheon of economic gods will have to be reconfigured.
    Convincingly overturns the conventional wisdom that federal budget deficits are somehow bad
    The most talked about economics book of 2020
    A remarkable book both in content and timing. A 'must read' that is sure to influence many aspects of policymaking going forward (Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz)

    One of the most interesting books I've encountered. Narration is by Kelton herself. I had always been extremely fearful off mmt as it is depicted in the media. I'm going to say I was extremely pleased to see that Kelton realises the limits of "money printing". This is a fantastic book but one of the leading person in the field

    Outstanding book about monetary policy and more.
