Modern Monetary Theory is an alternative to Neo-Liberalism, which is Austrian-School economics in disguise.

The Thirdway was a step to the right, and a dropping of Socialist values. Modern Monetary Theory keeps what's progressive, points out that inflation is the only constraint of spending in a sovereign fiat currency and does it all through historical facts and rigor.

I find it far more impressive than the pure-theory based economic schools. The common misconception is that MMT pushes for unconstrained spending when it's in fact very clear about what causes inflation.
