Randall Wray

Professor L. Randall Wray, co-founder of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) walks us through the topsy-turvy world as revealed by MMT. An American Congress that doesn't want the people to know who they really represent. The pandemic spending that saved us from a surplus. Central bankers who ruthlessly destroy parts of their own financial system.

 

Along the way we also learn of some surprising ingredients that go into the making of an MMT economist.
