520    The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of 
       modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important 
       idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically 
       different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just
       and prosperous society.     Stephanie Kelton's brilliant 
       exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically 
       changes our understanding of how we can best deal with 
       crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to 
       creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate 
       change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any 
       ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz
       saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in 
       myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.   
       Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking
       action: that the federal government should budget like a 
       household, that deficits will harm the next generation, 
       that deficits crowd-out private investment and undermine 
       long-term growth, that entitlements are propelling us 
       toward a grave fiscal crisis.   MMT, as Kelton shows, 
       shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one 
       of broader economic and social benefits. With its 
       important new ways of understanding money, taxes, and the 
       critical role of deficit spending, MMT redefines how to 
       responsibly use our resources so that we can maximize our 
       potential as a society. MMT gives us the power to imagine 
       a new politics and a new economy and move from a narrative
       of scarcity to one of opportunity.
