TED: The big myth of government deficits | Stephanie Kelton

The video discusses the economic impact of COVID-19 and how it highlighted existing deficits in areas like healthcare and education. It explores the concept of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which suggests that government budgets differ from household budgets, allowing for more flexible spending without the constraints of traditional deficit concerns. The video argues that deficits can be beneficial if used to invest in societal needs and emphasizes the importance of resource allocation over financial constraints. It concludes with a call to action to reshape the economy using available resources for a better future.
