Paul Krugman does some MMT


Scott Fullwiler tweets:
Krugman goes full-on #MMT (finally). Good for him!
The details for Krugman's new sovereign-currency-issuer-interest-rate framework were laid out in my 2006 paper. [I posted this link in the comments to Krugman's post - tjh]
Quick addendum--Krugman gets interest rates right but still in "natural rate of interest" camp on spending (inf. expectations cut real rate)

Pretty straightforward and to the point for Krugman. No more of the "we should be borrowing now because the market says it's O.K." kind of stuff. As it was he still probably went on one paragraph too long.
