Central bankers fail to learn from past mistakes, using ineffective approaches like bank reserves and quantitative easing.
Central banks deceive and manipulate by relying on expectations-based policies, suppressing real economic growth and fueling wealth disparity.
Deep dives
The Lack of Learnings from Previous Crises
Despite experiencing multiple periods of dollar shortages and liquidity crises, central bankers have not learned from past mistakes. They fail to recognize that their current approach of using bank reserves and quantitative easing (QE) does not effectively address the underlying issues.
The Illusion of Central Bank's Monetary Knowledge
Central bankers tend to deceive themselves and the public by pretending to have control over the monetary system. In reality, they are unable to define or measure money accurately. Their reliance on expectations-based policies and manipulative tactics masks the true state of the economy.
The Impact of the Charade on Economic Growth and Inequality
The charade perpetuated by central banks, including QE and the focus on managing inflation expectations, suppresses real economic growth, leading to wealth disparity. The middle class suffers from the lack of economic opportunities, while stock prices rise, benefiting the wealthy.
The Psychological Operation and Political Consequences
The psychological manipulation orchestrated by central banks fuels political polarization and populism. Frustration with the establishment's failure to address economic problems pushes people towards extreme ideologies. The inability of central banks to acknowledge their own failures and adapt perpetuates the deceiving system.
