  • Beschreibung: Many of the claims put forth by Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) center around the state's monopoly over its own currency. In this paper I interrogate the plausibility of two claims: 1) MMT's theory of the price level - that the price level is a function of prices paid by government when it spends - and 2) the claim that the cause of deficient effective demand is the state's failure to supply government liabilities so as to meet the demand for net financial assets. I do so by building a model of "monopoly money" capable of producing these two outcomes.
