Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist (AIPIS)

Jason Hartman welcomes Economist Mike Norman to the show to discuss Modern Monetary Theory or MMT. Mike shares examples of common misconceptions people have of the US monetary system and economy, such as the US debt clock, that inflation equals growth, and how the tax system works. He believes that the US has an unlimited supply of capital and balancing the budget or functioning as a fixed monetary system would accomplish the opposite of what is needed to create growth.

Key Takeaways:

[1:10] Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) explains the value of money.

[4:09] A tax system is required to create demand for money.

[9:01] A fixed monetary system creates cycles of economic depressions and recessions.

Investment Counselor and Local Market Specialist Liaison, Carrie joins Jason Hartman to see if he can correctly predict the effect the rise in interest rates will have on the US economy.
