  • Excellent Podcast

    5 stars. Been listening since mid 2019. Great podcast and appreciate diving into monetary policy. Christian and Patricia are great interviewers and do a good job researching and preparing for episode topics. Thank you for providing all the hours of information and entertainment. If you are new to the podcast some of my favorite episodes are the MMT Money Story from Warren back in July 2019, and I think the central bank episode with Steven Hail is also an interesting one.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#198 How Captured Economics Stole Our Future & What To Do About It with Katy Shields
Q: How would you even begin to hold economists accountable?
Shields suggests that accountability mechanisms in economics, such as integrating ethics, are necessary for better societal outcomes; however, she herself does not have a concrete solution.
#198 How Captured Economics Stole Our Future & What To Do About It with Katy Shields
Q: Could you lay out your analogy of a workaholic friend?
Katy explains that mainstream economics resembles a doctor prescribing performance-enhancing drugs to a workaholic rather than addressing the root cause of overwork, indicating that economists are failing to offer solutions that prioritize long-term human and ecological health.
#193 The Fauxbel Prize: Top Lies In Economics 2024 with Dr Phil Armstrong (part 2)
Q: Is the government helpless?
Far from it; the government has the power and finance necessary to manage the economy effectively.
#187 Phil Armstrong: MMT & Austrian Economics (part 2)
Q: So, why do we advocate for the job guarantee?
The job guarantee is rooted in the basic principles of MMT, which claims that taxes create unemployment, and thus creating job opportunities is critical to ensure that all tax-liable individuals can find work.
#189 Sam Levey: Monetary operations Q&A (part 1)
Q: How does running a deficit add money to the economy?
Deficits add reserves to the banking system, and when government spends, it creates liabilities that act as assets for the private sector.
