Painful and counter productive politics surrounding the MMT conference. For gear heads, the paper he would have presented is available in the article.
“A major criticism of MMT by its real enemies—again, Neoclassical economists, not yours truly—is that no MMTer has ever presented a mathematical model of MMT. Minsky generates those equations, which were also part of this paper”
Mosler’s reaction, to demand Keen to be disinvited and the disinvitation, is a mistake that should be corrected for the future
“I was going to ignore the 5% I criticise to help the 95% I support—and if you’re an “MMTer” and you doubt these proportions, ask yourself whether you’d still be an activist for MMT if the only thing it asserted was that “Imports are real benefits and exports are real costs”? (Mosler 2010, p. 59)”

Can anyone mention one such example of enriching or addressed needs for a community?
