@aliceroberts Giving Sigourney Weaver a run for her money

@kpeace I think you are combining two things here - MMT describes the rules of the game. Given these rules many policies logically follow that are different to those that would be derived from conventional neoclassical rules. Sure many authors run these things together, but it is important to understand they are separate

@kpeace MMT is a description of the system we have, it is not a set of policies or tools. When viewing things through an MMT lens you might come to a different conclusion about the effect of a particular policy than if you came from the classical school - it makes certain things like governments running a deficit look more attractive.

I would need to know what rejoin looked like - that was the problem with Brexit, there were so many different Brexits possible. Now it is not clear what rejoin looks like - we are unlikely to be able to have what we had before. The Euro is a red line for me - not because I have any issues with the currency of particular attachment to the pound, it is the loss of a central bank and the degrees of freedom that offers that worries me - so I answered don't know as it depends...
