摘要

这本书写得很好,结构很好(如果有点重复的话),令人惊讶的是,甚至很有趣。[…]如果谨慎对待,它甚至可能会让知识渊博的读者消除对公共财政的一些基本误解。[…]Kelton赞许地引用了前美联储主席Alan Greenspan的话,他在2005年关于美国社会保障体系金融可持续性的国会听证会上,针对前众议院众议员保罗·瑞安对社会保障体系破产的担忧,他表示,“没有什么可以阻止联邦政府创造出它想要的那么多钱,并将其支付给某人”(182)。MMT表示,这些限制主要是经济将新发行的货币用于生产用途的能力的函数。根据MMT的说法,征税或借贷的目的不是为了筹集收入来资助政府支出(毕竟政府可以“打印”所有需要的钱)。

The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People’s Economy, Stephanie Kelton. Public Affairs, 2020, 325 pages.
The book is well-written, well-structured (if a bit repetitive), and, surprisingly, even entertaining. [...]taken with a pinch of salt, it might even disabuse its less knowledgeable readers of some basic misunderstandings about public finance. [...]Kelton approvingly quotes former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan, who during a 2005 congressional hearing on the financial sustainability of the US Social Security system, responded to Former House Representative Paul Ryan’s worry about the Social Security system becoming insolvent by saying that ‘there’s nothing to prevent the federal government from creating as much money as it wants and paying it to somebody’ (182). According to MMT, those limits are primarily a function of the economy’s capacity to put the newly issued money to productive use. According to MMT, the point of taxing or borrowing is not to collect revenues to finance government spending (after all the government could ‘print’ all the money it needs).
