All Events in Burtonsville

This film screening and discussion is open to the general public with the aim of promoting more productive, constructive, and healthy public conversations about federal spending and how it affects our everyday lives. At the end of this event, participants leave with a more informed understanding of how the US money system works at a basic level. We are hosting workshops like this across the country with aim of challenging commonly-held misconceptions about taxes, federal debt, inflation, and the constraints on government spending. Finding the Money follows American economist and academic Stephanie Kelton on her journey to reframe the national debt debate. By introducing the public to an economic concept called Modern Monetary Theory, or MMT, Kelton shares how democracies around the world can fight the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
