Is ‘modern monetary theory’ worth a try?

Is ‘modern monetary theory’ worth a try?

Rather than focus on fiscal deficit, it wants governments to spend more to ensure full employment and universal basic income

Starting as an obscure economic idea a few decades back, the modern monetary theory (MMT) has achieved rock-star popularity in the developed world — more so since US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed the theory.
