Here we will be addressing the most common arguments against Modern Monetary Theory such as: 

-"MMT is just Keynsianism" 

-"MMT is just printing money" 

-"MMT is a policy that has been tried" 

-"MMT is nothing new" 

-"MMT is social democracy" 

-"MMT only works in the USA" 

-"MMT requires imperialism" 

-"MMT does not apply to the global south" 

-"MMT is the dominant ideology" 

-"What about Inflation?" 

-"What about Venezuela and Zimbabue?" 

-"MMT is incompatible with socialism"
