Common Good Economics - How Money Works with Professor Ron Mau, Ph.D.

Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich sit down with Ron Mau, Ph.D to talk about how the economy works and the ways Modern Monetary Theory doesn't line up with reality.

 

Dr. Ron Mau is assistant professor of economics at the University of Mississippi and is broadly interested in the impact of monetary policy on the financial sector in the United States. His work focuses on the impact of Federal Reserve asset purchases, a prominent feature of US monetary policy for the past decade, on lending rates. Asset purchases change household demand for debt-financed expenditures. His work also addresses how this interaction of monetary policy and finance affects standard macroeconomic results related to fiscal policy and asset purchases’ impact on household inequality.    @MauMacroTweets
