Stephanie Kelton is a leading expert on Modern Monetary Theory and a former Chief Economist on the U.S. Senate Budget Committee (Democratic staff). She was named by POLITICO as one of the 50 people most influencing the policy debate in America. A sought after speaker, Kelton advises policymakers and consults with investment banks and portfolio managers across the globe. She is a regular commentator on national radio and broadcast television. She is the author of the New York Times best-seller The Deficit Myth and has been profiled in numerous outlets including the New York Times, the FT and Forbes. In addition to her many academic publications, she has been a contributor at Bloomberg Opinion and has written for the Financial Times, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Reports, CNN, and many others. Kelton was the co-host of MarketWatch's Best Ideas in Money podcast and the author of The Lens Substack newsletter. She is the subject of the documentary Finding the Money (2023).

Kelton is to modern monetary theory what Milton Friedman was to American conservatives for a half century - conversational, fierce, relentless.
