First answer: “Fiscal policy works by driving income into people’s pockets.”
False. Instead: “MMT deficit-spending/money-creation works by driving profit into rich people’s pockets.”
Stephanie Kelton is a scientifically incompetent agenda pusher for the Oligarchy:
► Stephanie Kelton’s legendary Plain-Sight-Ink-Trick
► The Kelton-Fraud
► Down with idiocy!
► Economists: Either stupid or corrupt or both
► How counterfeiters save America with an extra profit and make WeThePeople pay for it
► MMT for beginners
Paul Krugman, of course, is already a little longer known as a failed/fake scientist (see Related).

The notation of the sectoral balances equations is as follows
MMT (I−S)+(G−T)+(X−M)=0
AXEC (I−S)+(G−T)+(X−M)−(Q−Yd)=0.
Because the MMT equation is provably false (it describes a zero-profit economy), the whole of MMT is false. As a consequence, MMT and its proponents are flushed down the scientific toilet. This is how mental hygiene works. And this is how science has worked for 2300+ years.
Genuine scientists settle matters by material/formal refutation and then move on to a superior approach. To this day, economists are unable to get out of their proto-scientific delirium. #1 Paul Krugman, Stephanie Kelton, and you are the living proof.
#1 Economists: Either stupid or corrupt or both
People who invoke Jesus in an economic argument have disqualified themselves and are NOT allowed to utter any methodological pronouncements.#1
Obviously, you cannot stop making a fool of yourself: “Egmont, people are trying to make a point I have made in vain to you. These equations are meaningless if you don’t define your terms.”
Guess what, Calgacus and other people who invoke Jesus and cannot put 2 and 2 together: the variables in the AXEC sectoral balances equations are axiomatically well-defined, identical with the subset of the MMT equation, and measurable with the precision of two decimal places. #2, #3, #4, #5
So, if the subset of variables in the MMT equation is correctly defined, then the same set of variables in the AXEC equation is also correctly defined. The AXEC set contains, in addition, the well-defined variables profit Q and distributed profit Yd that are missing in the MMT equation.
The problem with MMTers is that they do not even understand what their own balances equation actually says. It actually says that macroeconomic profit is zero.#6 Note that a zero-profit economy is a NONENTITY like the Easter Bunny or Spiderman or the Tooth Fairy, or an intelligent MMTer.

Your talk about greed and violence is folk psychology/sociology, or PsySoc for short. It may surprise you to learn that economics is NOT AT ALL about Human Nature/motives/ behavior/action.#1, #2
Economics is about how the economic system works. More precisely, economics deals with the objective systemic laws that govern the behavior of the monetary economy.
Economists, in an analogy, are like scientists/engineers who figure out the laws of aerodynamics, thermodynamics, etc., and manage in the end to get something heavier than air off the ground and safely to some distant destination. Except that economists have NOT figured out anything about how the economy works. Instead, they have had for 200+ years now a brain-dead palaver about utility maximization, rational expectations, animal spirits, supply-demand-equilibrium, greed, and other PsySoc BS.
To this day, neither MMTers nor Austrians nor Walrasians nor Keynesians nor Marxians get the interaction of the macroeconomic balances right.#3 So, economics is at a level analogous to physics before Archimedes had figured out the Law of the Lever about 2300 years ago.
Society is cursed with the fact that economic policy has, to this day, NO sound scientific foundations. What society got instead is incessant PsySoc blather at the intellectual zero lower bound.
#1 Economics is NOT about Human Nature but the economic system
#2 PsySoc — the scourge of economics
#3 MMT-Refutation for Dummies
