2 An unfortunate consequence of neglecting actors’ specific stakes and perspectives within the money-grid is that Sahr sometimes confuses the latent macro-functions of specific processes with their explicit, subjective meanings. For instance, just like MMT proponents, Sahr argues that taxes cannot be considered “income” for public authorities. This is plain wrong from the treasurer’s point of view.
