First, it reflects a lot of work that Andrew and I have been doing together, which looks like it will continue for some time to come.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it is a relatively rare foray for modern monetary theory into UK academic writing.<\/p>\n<p>Third, it emphasises the crucial role of tax in MMT, which too little MMT writing does.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, it emphasises the role of MMT as an enabler of policy rather than as being policy in itself.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, it highlights the fundamental role tax can play in shaping society, which I have suggested for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>So, good news to have the work highlighted. And fun to get.<\/p>\n<p>The prize is,\u00a0 think, a book token. I am not sure of the value.
