Great Leap Forward

APOLOGIES: GREAT LEAP FORWARD WILL BE BACK SOON

The GLF is on hiatus due to a family emergency. I hope to be able to post the next blog soon–perhaps next week. Meanwhile please see the videos from Eric Tymoigne’s class on Modern Money Theory over on the front page of the New Economic Perspectives, http://neweconomicperspectives.org/. These were produced by students in his Modern Money class (http://college.lclark.edu/live/files/11164-econ-320) that had gone through a Beta version of the forthcoming book, the Modern Money Primer. Soon, you, too, can have your own copy. Details to follow.

Saw the videos. They were good. We need to send them to some congress critters. When are they going to do one on the JG? That one I really want to go off to congress. Looking forward to your return.

Yep … I'm gettin' three copies of the new text book … i) one is getting autographed by Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Wray; ii) one I am going to immediately "devour" with stickies and a highlighter and start preparing and structuring courses from (looks like there is already a great start with the syllabus linked to above); and … iii) … then, take the last copy and work on turning it into a movie script … a Mega Summer Global Blockbuster with Mitchell and Wray in invisible "credit capes" and "powers" that reduce inequality and get us to tight full employment in several hundred glorious and well-thought policy advances (I might need two or three movies though) … its gonna be great … lerv ya, Dr. Wray …

… gotta think about some of the Jimmy Stewart Summer Camp flash-back sequences though … also, the helicopter scene … and the "real-bills laser guns!" … oh man …

Your two words "family emergency" can cover a world of hurt; I'm 75 so I've been there and done that. Sympathies and best wishes.
Since I'm a new fan I've got a big back log to keep me engaged.
