Magical Monetary Thinking at the Fed Killed SVB

By L. Randall Wray and Stephanie Kelton

The Lens

Once you read the post, if you want two great follow ups, their books are fresh, clear, and in my opinion, worth reading for every citizen:

- Making Money Work for Us: How MMT Can Save America https://a.co/d/9xs2GZ6

- Deficit Myth https://a.co/d/gEWEq6F

@Migueldeicaza That looks like two links to the same book. Was there a second one you wanted to point to?
