Finding the Money
October. 19,2023
Can a new economic theory revolutionize our ability to tackle the climate crisis? An underdog group of economists is on a mission to instigate a paradigm shift, by flipping our understanding of the national debt — and the nature of money — upside down. With a ‘debt ceiling’ debate and threat of default taking over headlines for the past six months in the US, many people find themselves asking - what is the national debt anyways? And why would the issuer of the US dollar ever need to borrow US dollars in the first place? With the enormous challenges of climate change and humanely caring for people on the horizon, the biggest obstacle presented is usually the question: ‘But how will we pay for it?” and “Where will we find the money?” According to Stephanie Kelton, face of the new economic theory known as “Modern Monetary Theory” or MMT, those aren’t the right questions to be asking a currency issuing nation.
Reviews
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
