My 2 Cents Adjusted for Inflation - Episode 11 - Job Guarantee

There is lots of academic literature available on the MMT job guarantee proposal, particularly from the Centre for Full Employment and Equity and the University of Newcastle so please start your investigation here: http://e1.newcastle.edu.au/coffee/job_guarantee/JobGuarantee.cfm

In this video, I referenced the following two papers. I strongly recommend you read these:

1.Creating Effective Local Labour Markets: A New Framework for Regional Employment Policy by Cook B., Mitchell W., Quirk V. and Watts M. (2008), Centre of Full Employment and Equity, University of Newcastle.
http://e1.newcastle.edu.au/coffee/pubs/reports/2008/CofFEE_JA/CofFEE_JA_final_report_November_2008.pdf

2. A case study of Argentina's. Jefes de Hogar program by. Pavlina Tcherneva and. L. Randall Wray*. Working Paper No. 41. April 2005, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/wp-pdf/WP41-Tcherneva-Wray-all.pdf or https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1010145

This video series attempts to recommend policy prescriptions that advance public purpose using a Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) framework. 

To inform this video, I have been reading the work of MMT founders, writers and activists including Bill Mitchell, Warren Mosler, L Randall Wray, Stephanie Kelton, Pavlina Tcherneva, Michael Hudson, Marshall Auerback, Fadhel Kaboub, Steven Hail, Rohan Grey, Steve Grumbine, Ellis Winningham and many, many others to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for their teachings. 

Please read their work for a more detailed explanation of Modern Monetary Theory.
