Warren Mosler, the founder of Modern Monetary Theory, dives deep into the radical idea that the natural rate of interest is zero. He critiques common perceptions of interest rates, wealth inequality, and examines the impact of government spending on the economy. The discussion also tackles inflation dynamics, including the effects of the Inflation Reduction Act. Furthermore, Mosler reflects on Turkey’s economic situation and political influences on central bank policies. It's a thought-provoking look at the intersection of economics and policymaking.
