Stephanie Kelton is a renowned economist and leading proponent of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), serving as Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Stony Brook University and former Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Budget Committee under Senator Bernie Sanders. With a PhD from the New School for Social Research, she has dedicated her career to challenging conventional economic wisdom, arguing that government deficits are not inherently problematic in nations with sovereign currencies. Her groundbreaking book, The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy, demystifies fiscal policy and empowers readers to rethink how economies can serve the public good. Kelton's accessible writing bridges academic rigor with real-world relevance, influencing policymakers and sparking global debates on economic justice and sustainability.
