Stephanie Kelton is a fool and a fraud. Once again Netflix produces a lemon
"Finding the Money" promises a revolutionary understanding of economics,
but instead delivers a one-sided infomercial for a controversial theory. The documentary relies on charisma, not critical analysis, to peddle Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) as the answer to all our financial woes.
Step Right Up, Folks, It's Snake Oil Economics!
The film hinges on Professor Stephanie Kelton's enthusiastic lectures. Kelton comes across as passionate, but passion doesn't equal peer-reviewed fact. MMT's core tenet - that governments can simply print money without consequence - is a recipe for economic disaster in the hands of most. The documentary ignores historical examples of hyperinflation caused by reckless money printing.
Where's the Beef? (Besides Kelton)
MMT is presented as a complete economic theory, but dissenting voices are scarce. The film cherry-picks interviews with a small group of MMT proponents, creating an echo chamber effect. Where's the debate? Where are the mainstream economists who find MMT wanting?
Pretty Pictures Don't Pay the Bills
The documentary uses flashy graphics to illustrate complex economic concepts. Unfortunately, these visuals can't mask the film's lack of depth. Serious discussions about inflation, interest rates, and currency valuation are left unexplored.
Finding the Money? More Like Losing Your Time
"Finding the Money" might appeal to those seeking a quick economic fix, but for anyone looking for a balanced and nuanced understanding of our financial system, this documentary is a waste of time. Skip the propaganda and head to your local library for some real economic education.
