BDO is proud to present the
‘Considering Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)’ eBook, designed to challenge any preconceived ideas readers may have on the MMT topic.
MMT is a widely debated economic theory that has been increasing in popularity with the potential to fundamentally change the way our governments manage economic policy.
Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) challenges many of the traditional principles of economics on which current government policy is based.
In 2021, we hosted a three-part MMT webinar series exploring all sides of the MMT debate. In this series we asked a host of guest presenters to challenge current views whatever side of the debate they may be on.
Our presenters included Professor Bill Mitchell, Chair of Economics at Newcastle University and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE), Dr. Lacy Hunt, an internationally renowned economist and Executive Vice President of Hoisington Investment Management Company, and Matthew Peter, Chief Economist at QIC.
