Does the Deficit Even Matter? with Stephanie Kelton

Is everything you know about government spending upside down? Zachary and Emma welcome trailblazing economist and author Stephanie Kelton, champion of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), to challenge the way we think about deficits, inflation, and what really matters for America’s financial future. Stephanie warns about the real dangers behind rising wealth inequality, explores the impact of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, and highlights countries that have rewritten their economic playbooks.
