Luzum to speak at Emeriti Colloquium
Modern Money Theory explains that dollar savings of the private sector and the foreign sector are equal to government deficits. Despite the pervasive thought that governments should run a budget like a household where surpluses equal success, Modern Money Theory attempts to show why that isn't the case. Lyle Luzum, Luther College class of 1970, will explain Modern Money Theory at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 8, in the Mott Room as part of the Luther Emeriti Colloquium series. Luzum's presentation, titled "What Money Actually Is and How It Works: Through the Lens of Modern Money Theory" includes the misconceptions of how money works in the "real world" and why governments aren't able to operate on the theory of "saving for a rainy day" when households are also saving for the future.
