Taxing Dilemmas: The Macro Policy Outlook through an MMT Lens
The federal government responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with little concern over the budgetary effects of its fiscal interventions, prompting many to proclaim that a real-world ’test’ of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) was underway. A rapid economic recovery ensued, but the outbreak in inflation and a renewed battle over raising the debt limit have policymakers searching for ways to balance the federal budget. Will raising taxes on high-income earners and/or cutting programs like Social Security and Medicare work to bring down inflation and shrink the deficit? In this high-energy talk, Kelton assesses the logic of fiscal consolidation and what it could mean for future generations of investors and taxpayers.
