I am trying to find good critique of MMT from “mainstream economists” (and for the purposes of this I’ll put Austrian in that bucket too) and I’m really struggling. Often times the criticism is

1. based on misunderstandings of MMT (ex “MMT says that taxes are the lever that give money value” and I don’t read it that way at all, imo MMT says that for something to become “money” it must be possible to use it to pay for things you want/need, otherwise it’s useless paper to you)
2. other times they get lost in their own mythological discussions (ex has barter existed? What is money?) Seriously who cares?
3. Valid criticism that’s not very central, especially that MMT folks often mix normative policy with descriptions of how stuff works. Especially the whole “job guarantee”. Because the descriptive part of MMT just shows what kind of policy room a government has for paying for things. What those things should be is imo a political question. So yeah, valid, but meh.
4. Ideological differences: “As an anarcho-capitalist I believe the state should stay out of as much as possible”. Which, ok, that’s an opinion, but not really relevant.

So if anyone has a video of a good takedown of MMT I’d love to see it.
