I’d say MMT is working on a theory of value. But thats beside the point.
MMT never claimed to be in itself sufficient to bring about social change (nor does it deny politics exist outside of monetary capacities) simply that understanding it is essential to doing so.

Economic populism also means dethroning economics. It’s not the job of economists to dictate how our economies should be run but to find solutions to implement democratically determined goals.

Reform's top brass loudly supported the attack in Iran and the public should be reminded of this at every juncture. This rewriting of history can't stand.

The important lesson here is that the economics tradition doesnt know how to think about money, because it just assumes that money is a neutral medium for "the economy." So they don't think hard about specific kinds of money and specific reasons for it flowing one way or another

Now that Woke 3.0 is here, we should remake the Star Wars trilogy with modern themes. It always troubled me early in a New Hope that Obi Wan discussed the Sand People without offering a lengthy stolen land acknowledgement. Lucas' films can definitely be built upon.

Higher interest rates won’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz or bring down energy prices.
Instead, today’s rise to 4% risks squeezing households already facing higher heating, fuel and mortgage costs.
With energy bills forecast to rise by at least £400 a year in January, the government must go further and introduce a temporary £2,000 cap on typical household energy bills to tackle inflation at source.

8/ We need to move beyond crude interest rates rises and use fiscal policy more actively. In 2022 Spain capped energy prices and taxed windfall profits, and its central bank found that did far more than rate rises. medium.com/@monetarypolicyin…

The Bank of England has just raised interest rates to 4%. But higher rates won’t make oil any cheaper, and households are paying the price for a shock we can’t control. My piece for @LBC 🧵1/9
