Very generally, my gripe with MMT is maybe it could work if well run. I'm not convinced but let's say it's possible. Next step, can we trust politicions to run the program effectively? I suspect they would always try to squeeze more out than practical that would lead to issues... And that's if it would work in the first place.

I'd like to see some countries try it and prove/disprove, just not mine first.

Hasn't Japan already gone through the course?

What course? Would you say they are running MMT, or just closer to than other countries. They have embraced increased holdings for ~6 years. Def the petri-dish but still seems early days.
