Kelton's argument is based on the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT),which holds that the government has the ability to create money without borrowing it from the private sector. This means that the government can finance its spending without raising taxes or issuing bonds.

Kelton argues that public debt can be used to finance a wide range of public goods and services, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. These investments can lead to economic growth and create jobs. Public debt can also be used to stabilize the economy during recessions.

Kelton's book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about public debt. It provides a fresh perspective on a complex issue and offers a new way of thinking about economic policy.
