The modern monetary theory literature seems to have escaped Drumetz/Pfister

Abstract

This paper provides a response to the recently published critique of modern monetary theory (MMT) by Drumetz/Pfister, which is based on a superficial representation of the body of knowledge and follows a familiar script: MMT is about printing money to solve all problems and will cause accelerating inflation, a plethora of unproductive jobs, and a bond-market revolt. The paper demonstrates that if the authors had consulted the published academic literature, they would have realised that many of the assertions they make are simply without foundation.
