Who is she?

Nothing about parents, family, etc.? One of the intellectuals who came down from heaven? --Delabarquera (talk) 13:23, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar?

What's with the brutal writing in this article? It would be a lot of work to copy edit this mess. Examples:

"was formerly a professor University of Missouri–Kansas City" AT the university, surely?

"a post that she held in 2015 and early 2016, when she left that position to become an economic advisor" She held it when she left it?

"Stony Brook University announced that Kelton would join the university" She joined the university? You mean the faculty?

"Kelton follows her husband Paul's appointment at Stony Brook" She's following his appointment?

Proposal to Add Summary of the Book "The Deficit Myth"

I'm proposing to add a brief summary (not a review) of the book The Deficit Myth after the first sentence of The Deficit Myth section. This would add some context for the following reviews/critics. I made an earlier attempt at summarizing the contents (just three or four sentences) but is wasn't agreed on. Here is another summary that I found - would this be more appropriate? "The Deficit Myth is an introduction to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), an economic school of thought that is growing in popularity. It seeks to explain why for countries with monetary sovereignty the federal budget is fundamentally different to the household budget, and why deficits are generally good for the economy. Instead of focusing on self-imposed budget constraints, Kelton suggests we should instead use inflation and real resource limits as the measuring stick for public spending." https://www.hustleescape.com/book-summary-deficit-myth-stephanie-kelton/ .

That sounds good to me. Thanks for finding a source! ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 01:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Book Reviews

This section currently ends with "According to editor Peter Pascal, many mainstream economists "widely accept" the premise of MMT." This is clearly false.
