The Regime’s Toxic Toolbox

Chapter Chapter 2 in Bad Money, 2025, pp 11-20 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Under the 2% inflation standard, the lead central bankers, whether at the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank (ECB), or Bank of Japan (BoJ) boast about their box of non-conventional tools. They have developed these in and beyond great financial crisis (as in 2007–12 for the Fed and ECB, and starting in the mid-1990s for the BoJ) to address the ills of credit and banking crisis, recession, and of course deflation of which they have a great phobia. In effect, “non-conventional” seems to describe radical management of the central bank’s balance sheet and the explicit manipulation of interest rates, including crucially long-term interest rates.
