Abstract

This article provides a summary, analysis, and critique of John Smithin's recently published book Rethinking the Theory of Money, Credit, and Macroeconomics. The book can be viewed as Smithin's magnum opus. It focuses on how profits arise under capitalism and provides a sensible explanation in terms of money and the need to borrow. As with John's other writings, it provides deep insights into how capitalist economies work. It is also erudite and extremely well-written. On the other hand, I have concerns with some of the policy positions espoused in the book—controlling inflation via some monetary policy rule, opposition to the balanced budget multiplier, and how monetary policy can help with our contemporary distribution problem.

Subjects
TAX reform, INTERNAL revenue, PROGRESSIVE taxation, INCOME tax, GOVERNMENT revenue
Abstract

Even progressives these days are discussing ways to increase tax revenues that do not require an increase in progressive income taxes. The reason is that increasing income taxes on the rich is a no-go politically. But is a flat tax a reasonable replacement? Not at all, argues this economist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
