The best things said about it
I agree with you Crystal that I I I I've been citing Stephanie Kelton's work in the past, you know, the deficit myth, which I think is an important book really I important in the Obama era, right, to kind of undercut a lot of the Republican claims there.
I guess we could just read that book the deficit myth okay that book is the problem.

Why people recommend it
The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton is an economics book that presents Modern Monetary Theory and challenges conventional ideas surrounding government debt and federal spending. Marshall Kosloff recommended the book on The Realignment, calling it a very good read that popularized important economic concepts. Emma Vigaland brought up the work on Breaking Points to support arguments about government deficits and to counter Republican claims, noting its historical importance during the Obama era. Conversely, Jason Calacanis referenced the title on All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg as the source of flawed logic regarding government debt. Sean Hayes also mentioned the title on SmartLess, inquiring whether Michael Lewis had read the book about the national deficit being a myth. Together, these podcast segments reflect a broad range of opinions on the book's unconventional economic theories, with some commentators praising its utility in political discourse and others criticizing its underlying monetary assumptions.
