And let's talk about this this merging together of mmt where I have spent the better part of the last 25 years of my professional life and ecological economics, which is new to me, but not new to many of you to fill and to Steven and and to the many experts that you're going to bring in to build out this program. So let me start with just some words on Mt. Right because and it has to be in a sense fairly superficial because we don't have very much time but mmt T will teach students who enter this program about the economy not some high pathetical stylized imaginary version of an economy the economy is it actually exists in the real world and you might think well, isn't that what everyone does when they take an economics course? And it might surprise you to learn that that it is not at all. What is taught in conventional economics programs. And so it is really important that we teach economics in a way that wrestles with all of the complexities and nuances that are glossed over in traditional programs and we wrap our arms around these things because it's very difficult to try to think about how to do Economic Policy. If you don't actually have a good understanding of the economy and how it works and

そして、私が過去25年間の職業人生の大半を費やしてきたmmtと生態経済学の融合についてお話ししましょう。これは私にとっては新しいことですが、多くの皆さんにとっては、このプログラムを構築するために参加していただくスティーブンや多くの専門家にとっても新しいことではありません。というのも、あまり時間がないので、ある意味かなり表面的なことになりますが、mmt Tは、このプログラムに参加する学生に経済について教えるのです。と思うかもしれませんが、それは全く違うということを知ると驚くかもしれません。従来の経済学課程で教えられていることです。経済政策のあり方を考えることは非常に難しいので、従来のプログラムでは軽視されてきた複雑さやニュアンスと格闘し、これらを包み込むような方法で経済学を教えることが本当に重要なのです。なぜなら、経済政策のあり方を考えることは非常に難しいからです。
