What’s it about?

A currency-issuing government can't run out of money—only real resources limit what's possible. This book shatters the deficit myth and reimagines economic policy for full employment and public good.

You’ll learn

  • Deficits aren't like household debt
  • Government can't go bankrupt
  • Real constraint is inflation, not debt
  • Job guarantee ends involuntary unemployment
