“Central banking is a modern religion, a technocratic one. The world’s top men, the ones who control banking, want to present central banking as a science. Any sense of spontaneity, gaiety or eccentricity is to be drained from the process. What is left is a dutiful acknowledgement that those minding the money store are the best of the best – and chosen for their fealty to honesty and their honest resoluteness in the face of the temptations of corruption. A straight-shooter, fearless, well-meaning, earnest … even a bit nebbish. That’s how the central banker is basically presented to the world. You don’t usually see them in relaxed environments. You hardly ever see them at barbecues.”
