Wow, such a clear explanation! BDL and Krugman seem to be trying to stealthily convert to MMT.

Reacquainting myself with Lerner ultimately led me to MMT.

The incumbent Economists with tenure & prizes are trying to Consume MMT, and own it, before the real authors can actually get the credit.

It's called either business strategy, legal strategy, politics, or plagiarism. Same things.
