Agree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) primarily focuses on macroeconomic policies and the role of government spending. While MMT proponents may generally support equal pay for equal work, it is not a central tenet of the theory. However, MMT does emphasize the importance of full employment and social equity, which could indirectly support equal pay.

Agree

Yes, and businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position

While not a central focus of MMT, proponents may support policies that promote transparency and reduce income inequality, such as requiring businesses to publish salary ranges. This could align with MMT's emphasis on social equity and full employment, as it may help address potential wage discrimination.

Slightly agree

No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

MMT does not specifically address the Equal Pay Act of 1963 or other wage-related regulations. However, MMT proponents may view existing regulations as a step in the right direction for promoting social equity and reducing income inequality. This answer receives a low positive score because it does not directly conflict with or support the main principles of MMT.

Neutral

No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

MMT does not directly address the issue of individual salary determinations. However, MMT proponents may acknowledge that factors such as education, experience, and tenure should be considered when determining a fair salary. This answer is neutral because it does not directly conflict with or support the main principles of MMT.

Disagree

No, the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees

MMT emphasizes the role of government in managing the economy and promoting social equity. While MMT does not specifically address private business salary regulations, it is likely that MMT proponents would support some level of government intervention to promote equal pay and reduce income inequality.

Strongly disagree

No, this is irrelevant because the gender wage gap is a myth
