I watched Finding The Money yesterday, really interesting watch.
There were a few points where I thought "why didn't they mention <x>?" but most of those were later answered. Only major omission I can think of is a precise model to improve/replace the current central bank-executive split. I'm guessing they were trying to keep the movie within 90 minutes and that's a movie in itself.
Watch the documentary Finding the Money. https://findingmoneyfilm.com/
There's a paradigm shift when you understand money. The government does not collect "revenue." It does not "borrow." Believing those things severely limits the ability to make people's lives better.
It becomes very annoying to hear people on "our side" amplifying Reagan/Thatcher/Wall Street scarcity-of-money ideology.
It's grating!
It's like when people say 'less' when the correct word is 'fewer.'
Learning about #ModernMonetaryTheory really helped me understand how much the federal government can achieve in terms of climate action.
There's a new documentary out about #MMT, called #FindingTheMoney. It's screening at UW on Friday, and I'm participating in a Q&A afterwards with stars of the film, the filmmakers, and more.
