  1. Thanks for the Dr. Hudson interviews. It would be nice to see "Modern Monetary" economists such as his UMKC colleage L. Randall Wray and Bill Mitchell from the University of Newcastle, NSW Australia.

  2. Thank you Vilhelmo, I've never heard of either economist so I'm looking into both of them now.

    I've seen that L. Randall Wray is described as a leading advocate of "Charlatism". The term was popularized by the German economist Georg Friedrich Knapp in his 1924 book "State Theory of Money".

  3. Thank you Vilhelmo, I will be adding Pavlina Tcherneva, L. Randall Wray, Marshall Auerback, Warren Mosler, Stephanie Kelton and Bill Mitchell from the April 28, 2010 Fiscal Sustainability Teach-In and Counter Conference, as well as various lectures, debates and interviews from various other sources over the next couple of days. I will be crediting you with the recommendation.

    Thank you again.
