Every week, hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway take you on a not-so-random walk through hot topics in markets, finance and economics.
These days, everyone is being asked their opinion of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).

He has an informed criticism of the school of thought, and he tells us what he thinks it gets correct, and where he thinks the arguments go too far.
