He shows how modern sovereign governments spend by keystroking money to bank accounts. While taxes serve other important purposes, they do not—contrary to popular belief—fund spending. If we recognise this, and totally reframe how we think about money and debt, we can marshal our national wealth to make us all richer, eliminate unemployment, and \"look after our own.\" We can make money work for us—the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book's account shows how MMT can become a new American political and economic orthodoxy, replacing the dominant conservative framework forever.
