Is it all lib hokum? I was in my local theory shop yesterday and was looking at The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton, something I put on my reading list a year and a half ago.

Since then I've listened to and read Matt Bruenig's criticisms of MMT and found them pretty convincing but I haven't really spent much time reading the anything on the "pro" side.

Is this worth my time to read a book on MMT or is it just a distraction? Thoughts?

    iirc the core of MMT revolves around controlling inflation by convincing people to buy bonds or just not spend money.
