Supporting the economy, paying for healthcare, creating new jobs, preventing a climate apocalypse: how can we pay for it all?
Leading economic thinker Stephanie Kelton, shows how misguided that question is, and how a radical new approach can maximise our potential as a society.
Everything that we've been led to believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending is wrong. Rather than asking the self-defeating question of how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton guides us to ask: which deficits actually matter?
"Kelton has succeeded in instigating a round of heretical questioning, essential for a post-Covid-19 world, where the pantheon of economic gods will have to be reconfigured" - Guardian
"Stephanie Kelton is an indispensable source of moral clarity, the truths that she teaches about money, debt, and deficits give us the tools we desperately need to build a safe future for all" - Naomi Klein
