An intrepid group of economists on a mission to flip our understanding of the national debt - and the nature of money - upside-down. This documentary follows economist Stephanie Kelton on a journey through Modern Money Theory or “MMT”. Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks away in real-time, displaying the allegedly ever-increasing debt, is a misleading and flawed concept.
The film delves into the complexities of MMT, exploring its principles and implications for the global economy. Through interviews with experts and thought leaders, the documentary sheds light on the potential of MMT to reshape our understanding of fiscal policy and the role of government in the economy.
As the economists navigate the intricacies of MMT, they challenge conventional wisdom and offer a fresh perspective on the nature of money and debt. The film raises important questions about the future of economic policy and the potential for MMT to inspire new approaches to addressing global economic challenges.
