Modern Monetary Theory explained in this long-form economic debate, revealing the shocking truth that the government deficit is private savings. We tackle the widely misunderstood concept of the national debt explained through the lens of MMT vs Austrian economics. A sovereign nation, we argue, asks: can the government run out of money? The answer is no, but the looming Baby Boomer financial crisis is real, driven by labor shortages MMT identifies, along with the resource constraints economic theory often ignores.

We analyze the risks of MMT and inflation and explore the emerging crypto vs fiat currency debate as it relates to future monetary systems. Understanding federal government deficits is crucial, as is recognizing the real constraints on government spending. We dive into history, explaining why austerity causes recession and how MMT full employment goals are undermined by misdirected policy. The discussion then moves to economic policy structural reforms needed to maximize capacity, and examines how does cryptocurrency affect state power. We clearly define what is net financial assets and analyze the financial implications of aging population, especially considering potential MMT Bitcoin taxation challenges. Finally, we discuss the impact of taxation welfare dependency regulation on overall economic output.
