Sparky Abraham and Pete Davis are back with further interviews in the “Is MMT Real?” discussion series! In this episode, Pete and Sparky talk with Solidarity Hall founder Elias Crim (@CrimElias) about his “lost years” as a financial journalist in Chicago, where he witnessed the rise of supply-side economics. We examine the founding myths and pop-cultural resonance of supply-side economics, and consider whether MMT is poised for a similar moment in the mainstream soon.
