#144: Warren Mosler: The Natural Rate Of Interest Is Zero
The MMT Podcast with Patricia Pino & Christian Reilly
Political Dynamics of Exporters and Inflation in Turkey
This chapter explores Turkey's economic situation, focusing on the impact of exporters on central bank policies and the ongoing inflation crisis. It draws parallels between Turkey's political challenges and those faced by the UK, emphasizing how differing economic structures influence political decision-making.
Patricia and Christian talk to MMT founder Warren Mosler about the MMT view of interest rates, the Inflation Reduction Act, and some recent New York Times coverage of Warren’s ideas.
