“Our central banks are engaged in a breathtaking program of activism. We don’t know where it will lead. But, from the historical record, activism and central banking go no better together than drinking and driving. Keep it up long enough and you’re bound to have an accident. But the accident hasn’t happened yet. So most people have stopped worrying about it. They smell the liquor on the driver’s breath. But they get on the bus anyway. The most reckless driving in central bank history…raising the footings of the US financial system by a factor of 5 times…from $800 billion to $4 trillion…and it has not resulted in one single extra job.”
