Everybody worries about the #JobGuarantee and inflation but look at the wage data. @PatriciaNPino shows how a phased move to £15/hr is forecast to add minimal inflation while wages for the lowest third rise ~30–35%. #MMT #Inflation #Wages

We keep debating the wrong things. Too often the choice is framed as repeating failed strategies or accepting decline. But as @PatriciaNPino puts it: "The ceiling of our ambition has become self-imposed." #JobGuarantee #MMT

NAIRU is a concept that puts a number on how much unemployment is "acceptable." Professor Bill Mitchell explains that this is “archaic”. Yet it still drives policy decisions that affect millions of lives. #MMT #NAIRU #Economics https://t.co/Goqf8ZnT1H

Professor Bill Mitchell on Universal Basic Income: "I actually hate it." Not because he's against helping people but because UBI dodges the real question and treats us as consumption units rather than societal members. #JobGuarantee #MMT #UBI https://t.co/Goqf8ZnT1H

The official unemployment figures tell us almost nothing. @PatriciaNPino describes the hidden unemployment crisis and the devastating social costs we're not counting: domestic abuse, unmet needs, broken communities. So what gives? #JobGuarantee #MMT #Unemployment

The idea behind the Job Guarantee didn't come from labour economics. Professor Bill Mitchell explains how a wool buffer stock model sparked one of the most powerful ideas in modern economic policy. #JobGuarantee #MMT

For decades, policymakers convinced themselves that keeping millions unemployed was necessary to control inflation. @billmitchell.org explains how NAIRU logic turned unemployment from a problem to be solved into a tool to be used. https://t.co/Td5LoD65wI #MMT

Labour's "youth guarantee" forced people into unchosen jobs at minimum wage while companies got subsidised labour. A universal Job Guarantee is fundamentally different. Here's how. https://t.co/Sdvnn7QDET #JobGuarantee #MMTUK #MMT

Community gardens. Solar panels. Greening our cities. @ptcherneva on how a Job Guarantee creates employment that tackles the climate crisis - without waiting for the private sector to find a profit motive. https://t.co/Sdvnn7QDET #JobGuarantee #MMTUK #MMT

"Every single country could afford this type of program." @dkostzer explains why a Job Guarantee is counter-cyclical: it shrinks when the economy grows and expands when needed most. https://t.co/Sdvnn7QDET The best social policy at a reasonable cost. #JobGuarantee #MMTUK #MMT

In 2001, Argentina had 25% unemployment and 55% poverty. @dkostzer helped design Plan Jefe - an employment guarantee that gave people jobs, not just benefits. Here's what happened. https://t.co/Sdvnn7QDET #JobGuarantee #MMT #MMTUK

"We don't have preventative solutions. We always allow unemployment to develop and then we scratch our heads." @ptcherneva on why a Job Guarantee prevents social costs rather than trying to fix them after the damage is done. https://t.co/Sdvnn7QDET #JobGuarantee #MMTUK #MMT

Governments deliberately maintain unemployment to control inflation. Workers with less bargaining power = slower wage growth = lower inflation risk. It's rarely discussed in public. This clip featuring @ptcherneva & @PatriciaNPino explains why. #JobGuarantee #MMT
