Bringing together prominent MMT economists, The Elgar Companion to Modern Money Theory analyzes the crucial contemporary issues of financing the green transition, aging and social security, and job guarantee programs. Authors discuss government debt in the modern money system, the dynamics of fiscal deficits and debt, resource constraints, and macroeconomic policy. This forward-thinking Companion constructively responds to MMT critiques, advocating for the use of MMT principles to devise more effective and sustainable development policies for the future.

This book is a crucial resource for students, academics, and researchers specializing in economics, political economics, political science, and the social sciences more broadly. Discussing practical examples alongside theory and related critique, The Elgar Companion to Modern Money Theory is also invaluable for economic policymakers and practitioners.
