Senate Budget Committee (minority staff) and an advisor to the Bernie2016 presidential campaign. Stephanie Kelton is professor of economics and public policy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Bloomberg contributing columnist. Join Kelton for a crash course on Modern Monetary Theory, and learn how to go beyond the question of how to pay for improvements and policies that are essential to our society. She guides us to consider which deficits actually matter, offering critical insights about government debt, deficits, inflation, taxes, the financial system, and financial constraints on the federal budget. ![]() Drawing from her book The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People’s Economy, Kelton reframes our understanding of important issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs and building infrastructure. Kelton steps forward with a livestream, setting the record straight with bold ideas from Modern Monetary Theory, a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximize our potential as a society. Kelton is a gifted writer and teacher and I confidently predict that The Deficit Myth, brilliantly written and argued, will become the defining book on what MMT is-and what it is not. Any ambitious proposal-whether it’s fixing crumbling infrastructure, instituting Medicare For All, or combating climate change-inevitably sparks a familiar question: how can we afford it?
