Tracy Mott walks us through answers many careful readers of Kalecki, Keynes, Steindl, and Minsky knew all along.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the original publication of this article, there was a criticism for lack of any reference to Modern Monetary Theory (called by one of they key authors of that theory as Modern Money Theory).  As a reader of Modern Money Theory, I find the criticism is  misplaced.  My question to the authoer of the criticism was:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nCan you give me examples of writings on MMT that reference the insufficiency of demand as a hindrance to the effectiveness of monetary policy? I think this article adds the emphasis that is missing from most MMT writings.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I learned \u201cOld Keynesianism\u201d when I took an economics course back in the early 1960s.  I avoided the taint of \u201cNew Keynesianism\u201d in all of what I read since I took that initial course.  As the article says, Larry Summers is now revealing what I knew all along. Also, some of the authors of Modern Money Theory were heavily influenced by studying under Minsky. Talk of Minsky is going back to original sources for much of MMT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naked Capitalism has a reprint of the article Kalecki, Minsky, and \u201cOld Keynesianism\u201d Vs. \u201cNew Keynesianism\u201d on the Effect of Monetary Policy.
