"MMT in a nutshell!""This book provides an easily accessible window on a macroeconomic perspective that differs substantially from the mainstream - it differs the most in that it accurately describes the way our monetary system works and how we can take advantage of that to optimize our economy for the greatest benefit to all. While the book doesn't use the terms "endogenous money", "horizontal and vertical money", "sectoral flows and balances", or "job guarantee", it discusses all of these topics and more in easy to grasp language. Whether you are new to the topic of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) or just looking for another way to spread the word, 1000 Castaways will be a great addition to your library!" Christina S. "Straightforward and illuminating" "Distilling 9000 years of economic evolution into a mere 5 chapters is an incredible feat. Describing the story of this evolution in a small enough scale to actually hold it in your mind all at once is just brilliant. Kudos to Mr. Ballinger!" Jerimiah"Essential macro!" "Excellent explanations in a relatable, accessible format. Highly recommend this work!" Tyrone Houck
