In this episode, Trishul and Aaron get wonky as they try to explain Modern Monetary Theory. They introduce the difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy. And they try to explain how fiat currency, currency issuers, national debt, federal deficits, and debt service are all related. They discuss Stephanie Kelton's new book, The Deficit Myth, and some of the concerns of MMT. If deficits are not inherently good or bad, do you trust Congress to spend your hard-earned money wisely?
