The Economist Who Believes the Government Should Just Print More Money Stephanie Kelton, a senior economic adviser to Bernie Sanders and a professor of economics and public policy at Stony Brook University, is popular in a way that economists, almost definitionally, are not. Filmmakers trail her with cameras; she goes on international speaking tours and once sold out a basketball arena in Italy. Kelton is the foremost evangelist of a fringe economic movement called Modern Monetary Theory, which, in part, argues that the government should pay for programs requiring big spending, such as the Green New Deal, by simply printing more money. This is a polarizing idea. This spring, Kelton spoke at the Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything Festival, held in a converted warehouse in Tribeca, where earnest networkers milled around taking notes. On the dais, a Journal staffer introduced Kelton as an economist with an idea "that will either solve the world's problems or send it into ruin!" She made a face, and then walked onstage.

Saket Modi, 29, asked himself a few months ago. Last year, the cofounder of Lucideus, a cyber-security startup, spent four months in Silicon Valley. This year, in the first four months itself, he had to make seven trips from Delhi to California. Eventually, in July, Modi, who was living out of a suitcase, rented a studio apartment in Palo Alto and shifted base to the US. "There is something in the hawa here. It is pure magic. The Valley plugs you into the cutting-edge world of technology and startups so beautifully." Serendipitous meetings, for one, are frequent in the Bay Area. Just the other day, says Modi, he ran into Oyo founder Ritesh Agarwal at Curry Up Now, an Indian restaurant. (Pic: Saket Modi/Facebook) Something in the 'hawa' Software
