About me

Gender Male
Introduction My academic and professional life has been focused on analyzing credit markets to some degree or another, giving me a unique perspective and more open minded approach to analyzing the recent financial crisis and balance sheet recession developed nations are experiencing today. I started this blog, Functional Finance, as a way to publicly share my views, create a sounding board if anyone chooses to engage in thoughtful discussion, and as a point of reference when I post in the comments of other economics blogs. My approach to the world is often labeled as Functional Finance, or Modern Monetary Theory, and is influenced by the work of Abba Ptachya Lerner
