“We don’t share the common fantasy of central bankers: that they can know better than the market what interest rate, employment rate and inflation rate the country should have. We mention the three because the Fed sets short-term interest rates through its conventional monetary policy. And it tries to keep a lid on long-term Treasury yields through its ‘unconventional’ QE programs. And it does so, it claims, to adjust two other important rates: employment and inflation. Every candidate for the top post at the Fed – except us – believes it is his right and duty to do these things. Which means none should be allowed anywhere near the Fed.”
