✨New!✨ moneyontheleft.org/2026/06/20/t... @feinig.bsky.social translates & introduces an early essay by Jean-Michel Servet. This work inspired Graeber's critical popularization of the "myth of barter." Yet Servet's project goes further by also affirming money’s pro-social powers. Please share! 🙌

Happy 62nd Bday to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom! The most pro worker policy is also the best alternative to the NAIRU. The Job Guarantee ends precarious work and unemployment, improves state budgets, controls demand driven inflation, &more share.google/1SaM1CqYkhCa...

What happens when you're drawn to MMT, only to have a jarring realization: that many in the community reject the idea that money is based on trust? In our new episode, @robbhawkes.bsky.social discusses this exact moment and his work to build a new theory of trust for neochartalism.

I'm thrilled to share our latest article for the MotL journal! Here, Rob Hawkes does important work rethinking the bases of social trust by affirming the fundamental publicness of monetary systems & eschewing the anti-social assumptions baked into exchange theories of "calculated risk." Must read!

I'm biased, but this is the best art in the MOTL series. Hale Woodruff, "Gate to the Campus" [Spelman College], 1935, black-and-white linocut. Come for the art, stay for the endogenous money creation.

If you're in the public policy game looking for how to design a post-Trump society, reimagining public money needs to be at the center of your thinking. #econsky #publicpolicy #publicmoney

Very important. No "back to normal". Only an improved social ordering can lead us out of this mess.

To be blunt, with fascists in government we need an inside-outside strategy that negotiates this receivability at the threshold of what are currently “official” and “unofficial” forms of credit. Complementary currencies can defamiliarize insides vs. outsides and expand fiscal agency. 2/2
