Love that we got to see this marvel, this monument to fiscal chauvinism, on our way to the bar after #mmtconf18 pic.twitter.com/ucAW6ucaq3

The #mmtconf18 is an alarming development that will does great damage to the MMT/chartalism concept as the conference has been highjacked by the left side of the Democratic Party. Rentiers are made happy as MMT careems to the left.

The most dangerous element in the US is not right or left as it is fairly evenly distributed bewteen both parties. They spend the most to influence policy of any faction. It is not the NRA. They are the "rentiers" #mmtconf18

#mmtconf18 unless MMT is used to only to defeat/purge rentiers and not attached to any political view, will be tossed and unused for another 50 years. The current highjacking of MMT with various socialist and left policy appended to MMT will end with MMT disappearing.

I typically loathe conferences and panels and crowds. But I had an awesome time at #MMTConf18. Today's highlight was getting to have lunch with the brilliant @RebeccaSpang, whose book about money and the French revolution has had a big impact on my thinking.

We need a corruption, waste and accountability with #MMT.

Strong desire to turn away from pay-go as the seeds of running on a message that we can actually afford to pay to avoid things like the climate crisis are being planted here at #MMTconf18 https://t.co/lVvIK59ld4

Today at #mmtconf18: CEPR Co-Director @MarkWeisbrot and research associate @LaraMerling will participate in a panel titled "Sustainable #MMT: Geopolitics, Ecology, & Development" as part of the Second International Conference of Modern Monetary Theory. https://t.co/rb5cbZpLoz

The debt clock is actually an asset clock. The money on the clock is an asset the government has put into the economy that they just haven't taxed back yet. (A member of the audience said this - it is brilliant!) #mmtconf18

One of the best things about #MMT is that it has factual data on it's side. @alexandrascaggs #mmtconf18

Another takeaway from #mmtconf18, more folks (including myself) need to learn about Coretta Scott King's work on a Job Guarantee and how this legacy is getting picked up again.

As someone from the religious left, I think many policy conversations here at #mmtconf18 are important for religious progressives to hear bc many of us articulate the ethical imperative for good jobs & protecting the environment but struggle w/ "how can we afford it?" pushback
