Part 5: Patricia and Christian continue their conversation about Stephanie Kelton's best-seller The Deficit Myth.

In this episode: what does it mean for a nation to "win" or "lose" at trade?

As the global 99% are pitted against each other in an increasingly gigified international job market, who's "we" and what is "winning"?

In an effort to dodge their responsibility for domestic unemployment, politicians have become very adept at mesmerising electorates with trade three-card Monte - focusing our attention on jobs and potential income flowing overseas, when a focus on real goods and services flowing *in* from the rest of the world reveals that trade deficits actually *improve* living standards for importing nations in real terms.

Nevertheless, in pursuit of political "wins", leaders squander actual wins in pursuit of arbitrary economic indicators with the only economic management tool they think they have: unemployment.

Understanding modern money shows how we can truly succeed without sacrificing people or the planet.

According to multi award-winning economist Professor James K. Galbraith, the new book, "Modern Monetary Theory: Key Insights, Leading Thinkers" is 'a landmark in the development of MMT, a boon for "useful" economists - and a profound challenge to all the others.'

Patricia and Christian talk to the architects of this collaboration of leading experts about how governments spend, why it matters, and why moving beyond our culture's deeply-held but incorrect assumptions about money and its purpose is now key to human survival.

With expert guidance from economist and "MMT Essentials" author, Dr Dirk Ehnts, Patrica and Christian fill the gaps in reporting on the World Economic Forum's annual greenwashing festival in Davos, where critics of the Biden administration's kitten-weak climate bill (the Inflation Reduction Act) warn it gives *too much* assistance to green initiatives. And, as US Republican efforts are underway to cancel already-appropriated federal spending with yet another mendaciously confected debt ceiling drama, the discussion emphasises the importance of understanding the difference between your debt and the government's so-called "debt".
