Ep75 [2/2] Chris McArdle: MMT isn’t the truth, its *convincing* (plus online activism)

Welcome to episode 75 of Activist #MMT. Today is part two of my two-part conversation with Chris McArdle. Today we discuss online activism, and also the concept of truth versus an academic theory. MMT is not "the truth about economics" as I have, admittedly, often said, it is simply the most convincing economic theory to me (and Chris). Truth is an inherently-subjective term and is therefore not conducive to encouraging others to look into MMT, let alone be convinced by it. We end today’s episode by giving a rundown of our lists of important sources that we find valuable to pass on to others interested in learning more about MMT, both from an introductory point of view, and for those wanting more detail. Many links to these sources and more can be found in the show notes for part one. But for now, let’s get right back to my conversation with Chris McArdle.
