The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy, by Stephanie Kelton

4.0

Reads like a long magazine article and is light on details and explanation, raising more questions than it answers. But seems to be a good overview of MMT ideas.

Extremely well-written and interesting, and about one of the most important economic/political concepts. If I could get everyone to read one book right now it would be this one. Our misunderstanding of the nature of fiat currency is deeply inefficient, and allows unscrupulous actors to manipulate the economy and policy in awful ways. Highly, highly recommended for anyone and everyone.
