Reckless Monetary Policy Dooms Western Democracies

Posted: 6/17/2016

I have blogged here numerous times about the irresponsible and reckless monetary policies pursued by the likes of Alan Greenspan and the dim witted economic professor and successor Ben Bernanke. The current head of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, another very pale economic professor, Janet Yellen is not much better. Mario Draghi (or Dracula) or his predecessor at the European Central Bank have not been better either. By the way, Ben Bernanke and Mario Draghi were both students of Stanley Fischer.

To destroy western civilization and individual freedom politicians start by debauching the currency. This basic wisdom has been known hundreds of years before Maynard Keynes or Lenin.

If awful monetary policies are pursued in conjunction with irresponsible fiscal policies (more deficits and more government debt and more government regulation instead of lower taxes and more economic freedom) as is the case in the first decade of the 21st century, then our elected politicians have created the perfect storm.

Why the considerable rise of populism in recent times in Europe or the USA?

Why are Western democracies in crisis as I blogged here before?
