I don't know very much about this, but it seems like MMT is getting enough cultural / political purchase that it could end up having a big impact.
Either a big positive impact or a big negative impact, depending on how sensible it is.
Does anyone with MMT expertise have a take?
The IGM Economic Experts Panel explores the extent to which economists agree or disagree on major public policy issues. To assess such beliefs they assembled a panel of expert economists. They had something on Modern Monetary Theory recently:

Of interest might also be the comments and further links that the economists cite to backup their opinions.
FWIW, some MMT economists think those questions are strawmen. I don't know enough to comment on whether I agree.
