Listen Later

As a sequel to a recent Human Action podcast episode where Bob critiques a Warren Mosler interview, Bob here goes deeper into the analysis of how an economy can continue growing even if the government eliminates its budget deficit. Bob relies on both theory and history, citing in particular the fiscal turnaround of Canada in the mid-1990s.
