MMT is not a new theory. It’s Keynes on steroids but using newspeak to cover up a recycled idea that was debunked in the 1970s and numerous other times.

History is replete with recycled ideas under a new name

MMT is not modern. It’s not monetary. And it’s not a theory with intellectual rigor.

It’s the Holy Roman Empire of economics

I agree with that, but most modern Keynesians don't.

Yes, many practitioners of Modern Macro call themselves various types of Keynesians (New Keynesian, Neo-Keynesian, etc.).

Since they use neo prefix then let me take back my earlier criticisms lol
