Peter Krauth of Gold Resource Investor provides his take on MMT and explains why he believes its effects will drive precious metals and commodities much higher.
Modern Monetary Theory or MMT, as it s better known, is a recurring theme that s not likely to go away. However, there s nothing modern about it, it s not about money (it s about currency), and it s no longer a theory.
We ve certainly not heard much about it in mainstream economics or investment publications. But I do think it s gaining traction.
In my view, MMT is a very big deal because of its massive implications to our economic future. And so, I think it s worthwhile having at least a basic understanding of the concept.
