State Money, Class Struggle w/ Anthony Anastasi

Dr. Anthony Anastasi joins Steve Grumbine on Macro N Cheese to explore the frequent misunderstanding and dismissal of MMT by many Marxists, who often view it as a capitalist apology or as lacking a theory of value. Anastasi breaks down the three major Marxist critiques of MMT (state control of money's value, absence of a value theory, and serving as a capitalist backstop) and argues they stem from a dogmatic adherence to Marx's 19th-century context and a conservative view of public finance. The conversation positions MMT not as an ideology, but as an accurate description of the monetary "plumbing" in a fiat system—a tool that can serve any political project, including socialism. Key points include the Job Guarantee as a superior non-reformist reform over Universal Basic Income (UBI), the role of state spending in mobilizing real resources, and the need for a class-conscious application of MMT to build working-class power. The dialogue concludes with observations on China’s economic debates and a call for Marxists to embrace MMT’s insights to better fight for a post-capitalist future.
