Abstract
The Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) has been one of the most argued and discussed since it is being implemented by countries in the world with various degrees of success, which generally is claimed to be effective in strengthening the economy in various sectors and perspectives. The discussion addresses the problems of main factors causing MMT to collide with Indonesia’s economic system and the adjustment on the frictions so that it can be implemented effectively. This study involved secondary data and employed a normative and empirical legal approach with qualitative data analysis techniques to investigate policies that were contrasted to the MMT concept. The findings showed that the MMT concept was predicted to bring some fundamental frictions regarding financial policymaking in Indonesia. Therefore, the adjustment is suggested by reorienting the national economic-political goals to the concept of a new economic perspective, i.e. the concept of a Protective Economy that encourages independence.
