(Redirected from Modern Monetary Theory)
Modern monetary theory (MMT) is a Keynesian economic theory that claims that, "a sovereign government cannot run out of its own currency."[1]
Origin[edit | edit source]
MMT is based on the Chartalist theory created by Georg Friedrich Knapp in 1905. Knapp argued that the state created money in order to collect debts and taxes, and not as a means of exchange. Keynes later endorsed this theory.[1]
