Is the Natural Rate of Interest Really Zero? (Answering MMT)
Using Randall Wray's classroom "buckaroo" currency, Bob shows how MMT thinks about money, and the claim that a fiat currency's natural rate of interest is zero. He explains why the Austrian view roots interest in subjective time preference rather than the cost of printing money, and why an MMT-style currency would push price inflation higher over time.
