Wolf: Government deficit is used as temporary solution to address an emergency economic situation, but the solution create another economic problem. A condensation of Wolf’s explanation: government repeatedly kicks the can down the road. Peter’s take: government can’t kick the can down the road forever- there is a day of reckoning. Keen’s hallucination: all government debt is good because that debt becomes a surplus to the private sector.

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

@@gregshock that's just an analytical framework looking at the economy in terms of class conflict, or call it diverging class interest. Labor vs capital. It's an analytical perspective so to speak, not an ideology per se. That's still market capitalism (although perhaps more or differently regulated), not communism or any of that stuff. People get that very wrong. So look at it in terms of social democracy in the European sense more so than neoliberalism. And that's that.
