I think I should draw attention to this Twitter exchange yesterday, which I did not initiate:
The story behind all this is that Steve Keen asked me if I thought a public meeting (or meetings) to explain just what Reeves is doing wrong with the economy might be a good idea.
He asked me if I would be involved.
I said yes.
Then he asked me to invite Danny, which I did - and he said yes, subject to availability.
Then I suggested several more people who might take part.
Not all of them, by any means, know about this as yet, but there are enough names in the hat now, I hope, to make something possible.
There are massive logistical issues to getting this to work (we'd need a big venue and some organisation for a start, and I have not got the time to do either). But the idea is now in the ether.
Of course, the next thing is to turn it into a tour...
Ideas are welcome.
Thanks for reading this post.

How about Gary Stevenson? Don’t think he is MMT, but he would bring a huge fanbase that I am sure would be receptive to your ideas.
An idea …..
Pleased to note your positive response. Like you, a campaigner for equality, tax justice and an economics for people, but I don’t think he ever uses the word “neoliberalism”,so his analyses are a tad shallow IMHO. Perhaps at least a dialogue with him might prove fruitful? You probably know he’s recently published his “confessions” as a city trader.
The FT laid into him this week.
