Modern Monetary Theory…

…helps us to understand the policy potential of the Australian Federal government as a monetary sovereign (which means it issues its own currency, doesn’t borrow in foreign currencies and has a floating exchange rate – all of which applies to Australia).

We aim to foster discourse which advances an economy that works for all and to show that the policy space afforded by our monetary system, while not unlimited, is nevertheless very much greater than the limits imposed by those who subscribe to classical macroeconomics.

They are one of a very few parties who use Modern Monetary Theory as the economic lens which they use in developing their policies.
