“Der Spiegel interviews Harvard economist Carmen Reinhart who has the novel idea that central banks are acting like the ‘adults’ in the room by cleaning up after spendthrift governments. ‘Governments are incapable of reducing their debts and now central banks are stepping in.’ Perhaps this argument sounds reasonable to a Martian that has not been following exactly what central banks have been doing and continue to do, but last time we looked we weren’t Martian. The idea that monopoly central bankers are ‘responsible’ and politicians are not seems a spurious question, in our humble view. A pox on both their houses.”
