Modern Monetary Theory

Strongly agree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) proponents argue that sovereign currency-issuing governments have greater capacity to fund public initiatives than traditionally thought, without necessarily causing inflation, provided there are available real resources and labor. Funding research into geoengineering as a way to combat climate change aligns with MMT's emphasis on addressing pressing societal needs through government spending. MMT scholars like Stephanie Kelton have advocated for ambitious government-led initiatives to tackle climate change, suggesting a willingness to support significant investments in solutions like geoengineering.

Strongly disagree

No

Given MMT's stance on the financial capability of sovereign governments to address societal challenges, particularly those as urgent as climate change, it is unlikely that MMT proponents would oppose government funding for geoengineering research. MMT emphasizes the use of government spending to achieve full employment and address critical issues, suggesting a predisposition towards investing in innovative solutions to environmental problems. Therefore, opposing such funding would contradict the core principles of MMT that advocate for proactive fiscal policies to solve large-scale challenges.
