So why do I hear so much about MMT if it's so easily disproven? Is it just a baby leftist thing?

MMT has basically been the dogma that all western mainstream economists subscribe to. Every time there's an economic crash, which happens roughly once a decade, more currency is issued to keep financial institutions afloat. We're now starting to see the results of this policy manifest themselves all around us.
