Ep 31 [2/3]: Joe Firestone, Graham Elwood, and the truth about the Federal Reserve

Welcome to episode 31 of Activist #MMT. Today is part two of a special three-part episode with Joe Firestone and Graham Elwood. In this second part, I continue my conversation with PhD political scientist, author, and MMT-er Joe Firestone about the basics of the Federal Reserve (the Fed), and its two major roles in our monetary system. Part three is my latest appearance on progressive video journalist and stand up comedian Graham Elwood's YouTube show, where I apply the lessons that Joe assisted me with. A full introduction can be found before part one. but for now, let's get right back to our conversation. Please consider supporting Joe and his work by becoming a monthly patron.
