Modern Monetary Theory
heterodox macroeconomic theory; describes currency as a governmental monopoly and unemployment as evidence that monetary supply is restricted; argues governments should print money to achieve full employment and fund purchases
Modern Monetary Theory, Modern Money Theory (MMT), or Modern Monetary Theory and Practice (MMTP) is a macroeconomic theory and practice that sees the practical uses of fiat currency in a public monopoly from the issuing authority, normally the government's central bank.[1]
MMT says that the government could use fiscal policy to achieve full employment and money creation to fund government purchases.
