January afterwork: Modern Monetary Theory

• What is money and where does it come from?
• Can a sovereign country that has its own currency run out of money?
• If such a country has unused resources -- unemployed labor, unused factories, etc. -- what can be done with them to get the economy going again?
• What is the cause of inflation and what can be done about it?
• Is a constant state of full employment possible? How, if so?

Rick Wicks has a PhD in economics. He does not claim to be an expert in Modern Monetary Theory. Instead, he suggests walking through these questions together. Rick held one afterwork for us on this topic in September; this will be a follow-up.
