Carlos García Hernández - Fiat Socialism and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)

What this episode covers

MMT: Fiat Socialism for the 21st Century with Carlos García Hernández ‘Fiat socialism’ would enable an open and prosperous society governed by the principles of modern monetary theory (MMT). A society without unemployment or poverty, in which everybody had a decent job (either in the private sector, or in the public sector) allowing people to fulfil all their basic needs and coordinate their working and private life because of reasonable time schedules. A society in where public services, education and health access were of the highest quality, and in which the level of prices remain stable. This isn't just a socialist pipedream. By using MMT as a lens to understand the monetary system, it's a realistic possibility, but it requires the political will to jettison neoliberalism. #FiatSocialism #ResistanceTV #MMT #ModernMonetaryTheory #Socialism #ChrisWilliamson #CarlosGarcíaHernández Become a member of The Resist Movement:https://www.resistmovement.org.uk/join_here Check Out Our Merch Store:https://www.resistmovement.org.uk/shop Full Audio Version of Resistance TV: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/resistance-cast/id1556536341 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5OTBoEMIkXPERoLFhcNwb5 Google Podcast:https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tL2EyMmQ1Mjk1LTAzMzUtNDNmZC1hMzE0LTgzY2ViYWRmNzcwYw%3D%3D Amazon Podcast:https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/3d300a75-e7c5-4ed3-9180-3cbdf1a8d388/Resistance-Cast More Resistance TV:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dam8zi9n4E&list=PL6sjjLmKXf-P4Nk-SyuETPuXRjodOJVMN Join Our Community by liking, commenting and sharing to help us grow and reach a wider audience.
