The philosopher Tom Hickey is happy: “Stephanie Kelton is solidifying in the role of being the public face the MMT. This is doubly beneficial. Not only is it good for popularizing MMT, but also there are not many other women among economists that the public is familiar with.”
For a philosopher, this may be important. For a scientist, the person/messenger is of NO importance at all. For a scientist only content counts. The crucial question is always and everywhere: Is it true or false what the person says? Scientific truth is well-defined by material and formal consistency.
Now it is known that the MMT sectoral balances equation, i.e. (I−S)+(G−T)+(X−M)=0, is false.#2 Because the foundational equation is false the whole analytical superstructure of MMT is false. Because the theory is false, economic policy advice has NO sound scientific foundations. Any statement that has no sound scientific foundations is merely gossip or propaganda or entertainment or disinformation or storytelling or blather.
This applies to the communication of MMT’s public face Stephanie Kelton. For details of the proto-scientific farce see #3-#9
