The widespread idea that somehow Modernity is a new, tabula rasa (blank slate) epoch in which the old rules and realities don't apply anymore.
You could argue that it means that we aren't sufficently historically literate but I don't see how it stands out as worse given ample precedent.
“This time it’s different” comes up again and again (tech bubble, housing bubble) and it turns out, no, it’s not different.
The latest is MMT, in which people say “you can print as much money as you want without fears of inflation because this time it’s different”. And maybe it is? But there is a good chance that, no, it’s not different this time.
Also, pretty sure MMT knows that printing money leads to inflation. Thats why the theory has taxes to remove money as well, if you want to tax someone other then those who hold capital evenly (which is inflation).
