Technically True But Somewhat Misleading Definition of MMT[edit]

The latter portion of the first sentence under the sub-heading "Academic work" reads,

Modern Monetary Theory, an economic theory that describes the way fiat money is created and used in modern economies.

Modern Monetary Theory provides a framework to describe & analyze all monetary systems/economies. Vilhelmo (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Source on Warren Being a Registered Democrat?[edit]

I can't find any source that says so, so I removed that from the summary of the article. I think I remember that he ran as a Democrat at some point, but I can't find which race that was if any, anywhere. Also, does anyone know if the US Virgin Islands even has party registration for voters? Willwill0415 (talk) 04:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article lede[edit]

@SherryReson: None of the articles sourced here, including your source, mention Mosler as a current bond trader, but rather as one during the Clinton years, see the Illinois Income Investors section and associated citations talking about the bond trading during the 1998 Russian financial crisis and his subsequent handing off of the fund to his partners. Adding this to the talk page because this article had that as the first part in the lede for a long time. Although it's possible he bond traded after he handed over his fund, perhaps even likely, no source mentions any trading after him handing over the fund. Are there any citations that say he currently is a bond trader or one that emphasizes his bond trading as more important than other activity? If there is a source saying he continued his bond trading after the years mentioned in the article, then that sentence would make sense. Also, the politician vs. political candidate debate happens often on wikipedia, but winning a race isn't the only way to be a politician. Only difference btw economist and writer is expertise, if you have a problem with the academic section here making him out to be an expert in Post-Keynesian economics, then we can have that argument.

Also, I agree he really isn't **currently** an academic, rather a non-academic expert, who's expertise is recognized by academia. Although, one could make the case for him as a minor academic given all that is (often provided without citation) in the academic section of this article.

Style[edit]

Several sections demonstrate lack of professional distance to the subject, referring to Mosler and others by first name only. Alternatively, this might indicate the passages in question have been copied from other, unnamed sources, e.g. Mosler's private homepage or suchlike. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.95.144.134 (talk) 07:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Potential reorganization of sections?[edit]

I am debating whether or not to move Mosler's political activities behind his companies. His companies did come before his political career started, so keeping the current order is chronologically incorrect. However, Mosler is more known as a minor political figure than as an entrepreneur which was a side interest of his. Anyways, I would not mind feedback on this topic. Also, I rewrote several sentences surrounding Mosler's companies which seemed too self-congratulatory in nature. I might return in the future to add better references as another editor brought up how many of the citations were from subpar sources.

If any other editors have ideas on how to improve this page, please feel free to reach out to me on my talk page. Leiwang7 (talk) 22:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
