INTRODUCTION
For the past several months, my personal interest with business and economy (both in micro and macro scale) have been growing rapidly. There isn't a day that goes by that I would not learn something new - it is a fascinating and complex world, full of unknown relationship and constantly evolving.
And every now and then I encounter topics, which are often initially to difficult to understand - I've spent hours trying to figure out what QE (quantitative easing) or REPO markets are about. And while I've been researching those two terms, I bumped into a new one: MMT (modern monetary theory).
And I must admit, that more I learn about it, the more confused and unsure I was about how this model could potentially work and what consequences we should all expect if MMT would ever gain more popularity. And it seem that it's popularity is only growing.
So today, I would actually like to ask you, dear readers, to share with me your knowledge and view on that particular topic.
MODERN MONETARY THEORY - a few questions
Most of all, I found it important to understand what problems MMT does try to solve and what challenges it will face ahead. How is it different from the current monetary system and how could it affect businesses and life or regular people.
I would also like to know, what are the threats to the "current state of things" if MMT would ever be introduced? Are there any real advantages and disadvantages of this solution? What risks and benefits would we be all facing?
I cannot stop but wonder if MMT will impact stock markets, inflation, property markets and ... crypto. And if it does - what kind of impact should we expect?
Those are some of questions I've been asking myself. Hopefully some of you, dear readers, have the necessary knowledge and willingness to share it with me and others.

I really love to hear your opinion on that particular topic. And I'm planning to reward all most valuable comments with a solid upvote (150k SP) from @project.hope to show my appreciation.

Money lies at the core of most of the problems in this world and I have also found it to be one of the most interesting topics to discuss. To write a comment on it myself would most likely be the start of a book. I'll keep it simple and just refer to the people on the forefront with their different theories.
First there is the gold standard advocates which include people like Mike Maloney and G Edward Griffin:
There are many more in agreement with the above to name a few:
On the other side we have the money policy advocates. A group of people who believe that the wrong policies are what brings about abundant and dire times. I have not seen a lot of them making videos on the subject but I have come across a few who have tried to explain it in simple terms. Bill Still explain his position in The Money Masters. In my view the petro dollar will fit into this system but it gets complicated.
These two ideas are fairly different from each other and attract a lot of debate but one obvious similarity is the fact that at the head of this beast there is a puppet master pulling the strings.
For me it is not a matter of consensus among the slave population to correctly define words or the workings of systems but the understanding that there is a slave master driving you into the ground and stealing your wealth.

I did read up on MMT some time back. The key difference between the current system we have is that it believes that countries with a fiat currency system can and should print as much money as they need to spend since they will never go broke.
In contrast, the current system believes that governments spending should be funded through taxations and issuance of bonds.
Under the MMT, the central bank will no longer need to manage interest rates as it will always be kept a fixed level (e.g. 0%). Overall greater responsibilities will be on the government.
Will be happy to have an open discussion on this topic

Hi @culgin
Thanks buddy for always being so responsive and helpful with your comments.
That part I already managed to understand. However Im not sure how does MMT plan to combat extreme inflations caused by constant drop of value of printent FIAT currency.

The fact is nobody can be certain that the system can prevent high/hyper inflation. The most compelling argument I read so far is that the government will be able to regulate the inflation level through efficient allocation of money and taxations
MMT really relies on an efficient government, which so far I haven't really seen one. The government here in Singapore is probably among the most efficient, but I am not confident MMT will work even under the Singaporean government

Hi my friend,
This is indeed a very interesting topic and I believe that people who believe in MMT simply never went through a period without relative money stability.
It is funny that this theory comes from people living mainly in developed countries. This theories only works as long as there are no foreign depts...
MMT doesn't produce inflation, it produces bubbles that pop
Of course it is possible to always create more money supply by printing it directly through the central banks or through dept creation by normal commercial banks. The more money available in a system the more you devaluate it. This means that for an even amount of goods the amount of money available increases which should lean to a devaluation of the money.
MMT believes that a country can always print new money but it is simply blind. The more money that is printed, the more we assist to a bad allocation of assets. Meaning the money will always go where the ROI is highest. It will go into share markets or real estate or bonds, accordingly...
This means that we don't see a continuous depreciation of the money, it fills a bubble and the depreciation will only occur when this buble pops.
MMT and foreign dept = potential for major crises
Imagine a country that prints and prints more of its currency to pay back its depts. Of course it can print always more but currencies are interlocked between each other. You are a foreigner and you see that the money supply of this country is growing and growing. You expect inflation and you will sell assets of this country. This means that there will be a sale pressure on this currency and a loss of price compared to other currencies. This means that if this country has depts in foreign currencies then this dept will increase in value drastically. It will be impossible to print always more currency because the more that is printed, the less it will be worth and the foreign dept will increase. Just some examples of that: Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey...
A currency that is printed according to MMT will be worth nothing in the long run
So I would keep my hands away from any currency that is created according to MMT. I would advise to invest in BTC that has a very limited supply or in Swiss Francs, probably the most stable Fiat currency and a governement behind it that by law is compelled to keep dept under control.
Best regards,
Achim

Our current banking system, in which money is created out of thin air each time a loan is granted, is essentially printing money. I guess the difference between fractional reserve lending and MMT is that with fractional reserve only the banks really benefit. With MMT more of us may benefit.

Interesting point. But remember, "more of us may benefit" owing to money that is printed out of thin air. Those benefits might feel good, but they're all based on nothing more than thin air.
In other words, MMT can have certain short-term benefits, but at what cost. MMT and QE and money-printing are by their very nature unsustainable.
Regardless of any benefits, I'm expecting the worst.

Trouble is that fractional reserve lending does the same thing--creates money out of thin air. The difference is that a loan is supposed to be based on some value-add that will allow the borrower to repay the principle and interest. It is worth watching Money as Debt on YouTube for how this works as well as reading the critiques and director's responses

Exactly. I find it strange when those who rely on / support fractional reserve banking turn around and excoriate those who promote MMT.

Very informative. And you shocked me when you mentioned that MMT doesnt produce inflation. I always thought that increased supply (over demand) will lower value of FIAT currency. And as such - it would create inflation.
If money would end up in property market, then it will increase cost of rent. And that will impact prices of everything. Wouldn't it be ... inflation?
You nailed it! Again big thx for your feedback.

In a way we are already living in a world of MMT with QE and as a result I always wondered why there was not more inflation. I believe it is because the inflation is kind of hidden within bubbles but when these bubbles explode we will have the same results as if we would have with an increased inflation. I saw this in Turkey. A simple tweet from D. Trump about taxing steel was enough to produce a devaluation of the currency of 20% within a couple of days.
Instead of coming little by little the inflation manifests in bursts and is therefore much more dangerous and imprevisible.

Some economists wish to make the governments all mighty. They think governments have all the solutions of the problems related to economies. These economists are the proponents of Modern Monetary Theory. It is not different from the current monetary system. In fact, these are very similar. There is only a difference of the name.

I seriously wonder how MMT would deal with inflation (losing fiat currency value). After all inflation is nothing but 'hidden tax', that can destroy economy and businesses. Just like tsunami would.
Also Im curious how countries following MMT monetary system would deal financially with those who stick to traditional/current ways. Something would surely have to change.

You don’t have to be bewildered with it, @crypto.piotr. It’s just another terminology manipulation, as it is usually done in the Centralized Hierarchical Political Matrix (CHPM). Orwell called it doublespeak. or newspeak You see, CHPM uses terminology to cover up repeating robbery. For example, at the beginning of the 20th Century, if you came to the bank to raise your money, and the bank could’t return your full amount and interest, that was called a Bankruptcy, or Default. Today it is called Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP)! In the 20th Century, excessive emission of the fiat money was called Inflation. Today it is called Quantitative Easing or REPO. MMT is just another name for a blind robbery created through the globalist economic system.
I would suggest to follow this man:

Essentially, MMT is a misguided attempt to deal with insufficient government income / funds.
Typically, governments make money by collecting taxes or by selling bonds. MMT holds that needy governments do not have to collect more taxes or sell more bonds. There is a third way, and that's MMT.
MMT may be cloaked and disguised as a clever new policy, but for all intents and purposes, it's basically money-printing.
Certain overly clever central bankers such as Greenspan and Bernanke explicitly condoned MMT. In certain ways, they even resorted to it. They essentially said that they US had access to an unlimited supply of money, cuz it could simply print more and more.
But any fiat money, printed out of thin air onto valueless bits of paper or clicked into being by using a computer mouse, will eventually revert to its actual value – which is zero.
On the way, the money produced according to MMT will create bubbles and eventually hyperinflation. As well as lots of pain and misery for those who are impoverished by it.
Anybody who thinks that MMT is a viable alternative has her/his head stuck in the sand ... or else somewhere else dark and smelly. MMT is Magic Money Thoughtlessness.

Good point. I believe that MMT does not advise govts to STOP collecting taxes or to STOP selling bonds. But if and when tax revenue plummets and when nobody buys the govt's bonds, then the MMT alternative (last resort) is to just print tons of money.

Money is everything in the modern world. So, there are economists who thinks that the governments are free to print as much money as they wish and to counter inflation and state of unemployment governments should increase taxes and issue bonds to drain excess money from the economy. It all seems to me a bullshit as printing excessive money can be fatal to any economy as it increases inflation and also creates conditions of economic failure.

the only difference between mmt and our current corrupt monetary system is with the fed currently they give billions and trillions to their friends on wall street to get ever richer, pushing asset prices like property, stocks and bonds ever higher, while with mmt the fiat printed currency is given straight to the public (via tax rebates or direct bank deposits,) pushing the prices of every day consumer goods ever higher.
both result in inflation, both result in a widening of the wealth gap, both will result in a two tier society and poverty for most.
only a full gold standard (see mises et al) results in fair system for all, and we are never, ever going to have that until Jesus returns.

From Bloomberg
In my opinion, this is not how current economy works. Countries are not closed economies, but highly dependent of international trade. Countries that accumulate too much debt not only generates inflation, but also distrust. Currency value sinks and people use other payments methods.
One of the MMT rules is that only the country can issue currency, and that is false. This theory underestimates the capacity of private banks to issue currency and manipulate interest rates. And geopolitcs is another factor that must be considered.
If a country stops taxation and issue more debt, all citizens and companies will abandon that currency and use other currency to save money and maka payments.

From what I understood The MMT theory doesnt eliminate taxes. It gives another use to it: instead of being the way to fund government expenses it is used to reduce the circulating money and reduce the inflation.

It´s doing the same but with different mechanics.
Another idea of the MMT is reduce taxes to decrease unemployment rates. For companies, salaries are just another cost, and they always try to reduce them to increase income. Reducing taxes won´t change that, so it won´t affect unemployment rates.

MMT is like taking the current system and adding even more government spending and regulation and trying to put a band-aid over everyone instead of decentralising things and allowing local economies to find their own equilibrium. It's a ploy for more control and its not going to work, it will be quicker to collapse than this fake economy we have now.
I would stay far clear of MMT but if countries do vote for it, ill be there to watch it crash and burn saying I told you so

So, I didn't had much time to fully research it yet, but here is what I was able to grasp:
The base idea of MMT is that the government can print money, therefore it can have no debts. All government debts could be paid if enough money were printed by it.
In common kenesyan economic model, adopted by almost all countries is the world, the government funds to pay it's expenses/debt come from taxes. But in the MMT model, since the government expenses/debt can be paid at any time (just print more money), taxes become a tool to reduce/control inflation.
if I got this right, the inflation/economy growth wouldn't be directed/controlled by monetary policies, like base interest rates, but by how the taxes and money printed to pay debt are balanced.
From what I read, it seems that those who advocate this model seems to think it would be a better solution to also improve unemployment rates.

I've never heard about MMT. Finance and economic theory are not my strong suit.
I've read a bit, searching on the internet in sites for dummies, because it's really Chinese for me about MMT. But it seems to me that it's already a trend that's working? Because it says that the state and government itself can create its own money as many times as it needs to.
Our government is constantly creating more money, and look how hyperinflation is killing us.
I get the impression that it has a socialist touch too. In theory, socialism shouldn't be bad, but I guess it doesn't work in all cultures.

Hello @crypto.piotr
I definitely saw your memo and sorry I've missed the ones in the past I'm actually a public relations personnel and I'm into pratical business and I study economics trend and behaviors especially in a place as Nigeria. MMT is something that's quite sophisticated for my field but I generally feel it's a sovereignty of government over money, it's a kind of bringing the invincible feature of money into play so only the government can benefit from. A government can't afford to go broke so as they last resort MMT becomes a solving grace when there is no other resort. So government can print money only and Only to get out of financial crises.
I'll write a Post in this. Hope you get to see it

The beginning of the related Wikipedia post describes it quite well, IMHO:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory
I think US, EU, and some other countries are applying this theory already in the practice - printing so much money as they wish. Employment is on very high level. So the great danger is inflation.
(I'm holding silver, platinum, some mining stocks and cryptos...)

Modern Monetary Theory
Modern Monetary Theory or Modern Money Theory (MMT) is a heterodox macroeconomic theory that describes currency as a public monopoly for the government and unemployment as evidence that a currency monopolist is overly restricting the supply of the financial assets needed to pay taxes and satisfy savings desires. MMT is an evolution of chartalism and is sometimes referred to as neo-chartalism. Its macroeconomic policy prescriptions have been described as being a version of Abba Lerner's theory of functional finance.
MMT advocates argue that the government should use fiscal policy to achieve full employment, creating new money to fund government purchases.

Dear @deathcross
Thank you for always being so responsive.
Exactly.
I seriously wonder how MMT would deal with inflation (losing fiat currency value). After all inflation is nothing but 'hidden tax', that can destroy economy and businesses. Just like tsunami would.
Also Im curious how countries following MMT monetary system would deal financially with those who stick to traditional/current ways. Something would surely have to change.
ps.2.
I would also like to take this opportunity to share with you one of my recent posts
, where I'm describing project.hope economy (I run it with few guys from steem). I would love, if you could invest few minutes and get familiar with our efforts and perhaps share your feedback (this is what I always care the most).
I'm not sure if I already did share this link with you. I hope Im not repeating myself.
Yours, Piotr

@crypto.piotr I received your message, but I do not currently have any specific articles or info on modern monetary theory. Is there something specific you are hoping to cover?

Hi @kryptoking1
Thanks for dropping by. I wanted to cover this specific topic: MMT :)
Luckily many other users had some knowledge about that issue and I've learned some valuable lessons.
Thx for dropping by,

Unfortunately, the practices of the United States have collapsed all theories. Printing unrequited dollars has shaken the world economy deeply. It is necessary to disable Usa in order to ensure that the economic systems sit in the correct orbit.

Hi @sipahikara
Necessary - maybe. But is it possible? Without entire world economy going down?
thx for resteeming my post. Appreciate it.

Regards @crypto.piotr.
The MMT suggests that the fiscal deficit must be as high as necessary to maintain full employment.
The state will always be able to increase the internal debt as many times as necessary through the issuance of bonds, since it is possible to add other factors of internal production to the mathematical formula, and thus compensate for this "supposed" deficit.
In this way, maintaining employment can achieve greater production, increase GDP and thus compensate for debt.
Many times the surpluses of any sector of the economy are taken and channeled to compensate for the deficit of some other sector and of internal indebtedness.
It should be noted that this theory only applies to the administrations of countries that own their sovereign currencies, so it is an internal procedure to increase the public debt through the issuance of bonds. For this reason, this theory could not be applied per se to business or personal finance.

@crypto.piotr, In my opinion Current Money 💵 System is really rigid because it's controlled by the Banks and no matter how much we think, at the end of the day Ownership is hold by the Banks.
I think that current picture of this world is combination and collaboration between Spiritual and Technological world. Now people are understanding the Game Of Centralisation and Game Of Fiat Money 💵. Through Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrency Space people are trying to come out of this Cage System.
In my opinion Future is reflecting like a Hub Of Structured Decentralisation and by that i mean, before Use Cases were turning into a Market but with Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Space, Use Cases are turning into whole Economy.
But with Modern Monetary Chain we can face some issues and in my opinion most vital one is, many showcase Carelessness and Digital Money means we have to take some Precautions. For example, if we take the example of Steem Blockchain, here every Account Wallet is a bank and if people lose their Keys they lose everything in a way. No matter how much we evolve, in every time or phase we have to take those necessary precautions which are real need.
Have a wonderful time ahead and stay blessed brother.

Debt: The First 5000 Years
Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a book by anthropologist David Graeber published in 2011. It explores the historical relationship of debt with social institutions such as barter, marriage, friendship, slavery, law, religion, war and government; in short, much of the fabric of human life in society. It draws on the history and anthropology of a number of civilizations, large and small, from the first known records of debt from Sumer in 3500 BC until the present.
