Before the 2008 crash, issuers paid agencies to rate their securities.
Those judgments helped risky mortgage investments gain acceptance.
The costs reached households far beyond Wall Street.

@mmt-action.bsky.socialThe Phillips curve says you need unemployment to control inflation. That's the choice we're told we have to make. But it's a false one. The Job Guarantee replaces unemployment as the price anchor with paid public work at a fixed wage.

@mml-europe.bsky.socialEU fiscal rules (SGP, debt brakes, ESM conditionality) constrain member-state spending; but they are political instruments, not economic laws. National central banks can create euros. The real limit on Eurozone action is inflation and real resources, not solvency.

@manyroads.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy@manyroads.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy@mmt-action.bsky.social"Unlock billions" makes it sound like a vault. It's a timetable. Westminster issues the pound, so the £39bn waits on an election, not a bank balance. Housing associations are ready to build. The real limits are builders and land, not cash.

@dnaoilky.bsky.social💰 Saving more sounds obviously good until everyone does it at once. If spending disappears faster than investment replaces it, the economy can shrink enough that total savings barely move. Weird, but that’s the paradox. www.ebc.com/forex/what-i... #Economics #Investing #ConsumerSpending #Macro
