Thomas Ferguson's article is featured in the International Economy Magazine
Apr 28, 2021
“The much-touted “new thinking” on fiscal policy and debt is actually very thin and little of it is new. In the 1990s, economist Luigi Pasinetti clarified the folly of the proposed Maastricht criteria for public finances and forecast the coming disaster with those.

Running below full employment for long periods blows big holes in public finances and thus piles on debt.” – Thomas Ferguson
