This guy nailed it! This is what mainstream economists don't understand, they might say and accept it just to win the debate but practice and implement just opposite of it! #NeoclassicalEconomics #TrickleDownEconomics
The IMF and World Bank weren’t created to uplift developing nations, they were designed to weaponize the dollar, to force countries into submission and make them dance to the tune of the U.S. and its Western allies. These institutions systematically strip nations of their…
If the IMF, World Bank etc really aim to benefit the developing world, why is it that they lend forex denominated loans, when they could instead buy local currency and lend to countries with loans denominated in that country’s local sovereign currency. They know that taking on…

Seriously. This is so obvious that it *should* jolt people into questioning how government spending really works. WHY can they generate money for whatever they want and it's crickets chirping -- nobody asks how can we afford this?
Just read the newspapers with a bit of attention, it becomes painfully obvious that government spending isn’t about financial limitations, it’s about political convenience! The moment all political parties agree on something, like handing out corporate freebies or building…
"the austerity macroeconomic illiteracy foists upon us all... including our children and those incapable of fighting back"
May everyone who felt it beneath them to learn MMT enjoy the austerity macroeconomic illiteracy foists upon us all... including our children and those incapable of fighting back. Especially to those lying liars that refer to "hard earned tax dollars" and national debt fearporn.
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: "Between 1945-1989, the U.S. carried out at least 70 regime change operations. The United States accused the Soviet Union of wanting to take over the world, then used that as an explanation to take over the world every other place."

Keep telling everyone you know that Israel is starving the people of Palestine and Americans are paying for Israel's genocide against the people of Gaza. Let everyone know. Scream it feom your windows. Climb a tower and yell it out. Use your body and voice to speak for them.

In "New India," if you belong to the Other Backward Classes (#OBCs), Scheduled Castes (SC), or Scheduled Tribes (ST), there’s simply no place for you. And let’s be clear, every unemployed person in this country, no matter their social background, is unemployed because the…
They will do anything in their power to keep the masses ignorant of the facts of present currency regimes and how it operates.
हरे रंग से रंगे देश वे हैं जो फ़लस्तीन को एक ख़ुदमुख़्तार देश का दर्जा देते हैं, इनमें हमारा भारत भी शामिल है। कल फ़्रांस और आज कनाडा ने यह दर्जा जल्द देने को घोषणा की है, स्पेन, आयरलैंड जैसे देश पहले ही कर चुके हैं और इंग्लैंड में सौ से ज़्यादा MPs ने ऐसी माँग की है।
According to The Guardian, there’s a “war” between Israel and Gaza, as if it’s some kind of equal conflict and occupation and genocide. There’s a limit to how far you can twist facts and lie to shield an occupier. Day after day, it feels like there’s a race in the Western media…

What a pleasure to have lunch in London this week with one of the most influential and groundbreaking economists of our time, @ProfSteveKeen.
'A distraction': Unrwa says Israeli and GHF claims over UN aid delivery are baseless Airdrops: "the most expensive & inefficient way to deliver aid" Falling into overcrowded areas, or into the sea, where Palestinians will be shot trying to retrieve. middleeasteye.net/news/unrwa-say…
This tweet has probably been liked 10,000 times, only for X to remove likes and retweets over and over and over again. Why is that? Because the powers that be do not want you to understand how our nations monetary system actually works.
Some basics. The US Dollar is a tax credit. It is a unit of measure. You can't run out of inches You can't run out of numbers The government can't run out of dollars... unless it purposely, politically chooses to. Thread 1/x
