[1] Mosler’s ideas have been central to the development of MMT. In the interview above, he focuses in particular on the concept of fiscal sustainability.
[2] Government can always credit bank accounts and add to bank reserves whenever it sees fit. But this doesn’t mean that governments should be spending without regard to what it is supposed to achieve, as some critics of MMT falsely allege.
[3] Rather than being faced with an artificial constraint based on debt-to-GDP ratios, fiscal sustainability is directly related to the extent to which labor resources are utilized in the economy.
[4] The goal is to generate full employment.
[5] Mosler says, governments must aim to advance the public good. Mosler notes that a sovereign (currency-issuing) government is always financially solvent.
[6] Fiscal sustainability will not include any notion of foreign “financing” limits or foreign worries about a sovereign government’s solvency.
