68. MMT: Macroeconomic implications and its role in development

Our episode today comes from our most recent panel discussion titled "Modern Money & Public Policy – Should we worry about the Federal Deficit?". Our panel discussed the role debt plays within the economy and why it shouldn’t be such a daunting subject. Do deficits really matter? Are they as poignant as they are made out to be? This talk explores how money works as a function within the economy. If you’ve ever wondered what the term Modern Monetary Theory meant, this is the podcast for you. Our talk is hosted by our Director of Education, Ibrahim Drame, who is joined by James Keenan, Adam Rice, and Ryan Benincasa.
