This paper draws on nearly 25 years of modern monetary theory (MMT) scholarship to provide an assessment of the critique of MMT by Drumetz/Pfister in their 2021 working paper. The present paper commences with a review of methodology. It then pursues a thematic approach, initially exploring the issue of currency sovereignty and the nature of modern monetary systems before addressing the specific criticisms that Drumetz/Pfister have raised about MMT’s approach to monetary and fiscal policy.

Based on 25 years (1995–2019) of fully integrated sectoral data, this study builds on monetary circuit theory to examine the Italian experience of growing private debt followed by a long recession with balance-sheet restructuring. It is argued that this process cannot be identified as a typical balance-sheet recession. After the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, Italian firms increased financial sources from economic activities by retaining earnings, lowering wages, and disinvesting. Their deleverage, however, rested largely on the overall financial wealth reallocation that occurred after 2012, which was induced by monetary and fiscal policy, creating the conditions for households to increase net saving and to channel cumulated wealth from government securities and money balances towards equities.

make several claims about the inadequacy and fallacy of modern money theory (MMT) and conclude that MMT is nothing more than a political manifesto; there is no theoretical and empirical foundation beneath it. The present paper addresses this last point by focusing on the fiscal and monetary policy aspects of their criticisms. Contrary to what they claim, MMT is backed by a large body of empirical evidence, a rich institutional analysis, and a well-developed theoretical framework (including mathematical models). MMT provides a detailed analysis of the coordination between the fiscal and monetary branches of government, emphasizes that fiscal deficits are a stylized fact, and uses theoretical tools grounded in institutional realities to explain this stylized fact.

This paper provides a response to the recently published critique of modern monetary theory (MMT) by Drumetz/Pfister, which is based on a superficial representation of the body of knowledge and follows a familiar script: MMT is about printing money to solve all problems and will cause accelerating inflation, a plethora of unproductive jobs, and a bond-market revolt. The paper demonstrates that if the authors had consulted the published academic literature, they would have realised that many of the assertions they make are simply without foundation.
