Great video, I’ve referenced it in my article here:

Blyth’s presentation, however, brilliant, thanks for flagging it for us, Michel!

@David — I am not yet convinced by MMT. One warning sign is the name itself, “Modern”. That does not bode well. But are you really sure that the assumptions on which MMT is based are sound? I doubt it, personally. I read the Wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory

Brilliant thanks Michel. I love Blyth’s critique of the soft left and their ‘defenestration of working class prospects,’ his interest in Kirkegaard and that I recognise the mantra from New Zealand of inflation as the bogeyman – to justify fierce unemployment – taught to us as schoolchildren in the 80s.
Will watch again and will follow up on your presentation Ronald.

Totally agree that Blyth’s presentation is one of the best….A post of mine a month ago picked out its key points and tried to put the presentation in a slightly wider context http://nomadron.blogspot.ro/2016/12/tina-and-little-trumpets.html

Dear Michel,

Do you know Modern Monetary Theory? It is becoming not just a post-keynesian school but a movement and probably it could become something similar to what keyneisianism meant in the 30s and 40s… have a look
