Even though the Bloomberg article is labeled an opinion piece, it was journalistically irresponsible of them to publish it without requiring its author to include some comment from authoritative sources about MMT. Same thing for the Washington Post in reprinting it.

However, there's one small saving grace. When I went to post a comment to the Washington Post article, I saw that the article had elicited precisely zero comments during the period when comments were open. Now, given that WaPo opinion pieces typically attract hundreds of comments within hours of publication, so the absence of any comments for Sharma's piece was striking.

Brilliant, clear analysis, Stephanie and Fadhel. The harvest of MMT straw-men is plenty and the workers are few, but brilliant!
