  ducati998 — Authority: 138
  Continuing the analysis of interest rates For economists, a model is not a toy train or runway star, but rather, a simplified description of reality, usually involving equations.

• Real Interest Rates

  
  ducati998 — Authority: 138
  Continuing the critique from a couple of days ago… Real interest rates also play a key role in many economic decisions. When businesses invest—or don’t—in plants and equipment, when families buy—or don’t—a new car or dishwasher, they are making judgments about the real return on the object and the real ...

• Ok, let’s break it down in stages.

  
  ducati998 — Authority: 138
  Policymakers at the Federal Reserve and other central banks continually face the “Goldilocks” question—is monetary policy too tight, too loose, or just right? It would help if the central bank knew what real interest rates and expected inflation actually were, but these are not easy to observe. Visible ...

• Interest Rates

  
  ducati998 — Authority: 138
  There are so many problems with this that it will take several posts to sort it all out. However it makes clear, just how poorly economists, who have some influence, actually understand the theory of interest, or, they are totally without professional ethical standards. Either way, if nonsense like this is ...

• Mish so misses the point of his own post

  
  ducati998 — Authority: 138
  Mish has part 1 of a post regarding money, in an analysis with regards to the deflation/inflation question. He quotes Rothbard as evidence in support of his case. [Yet] an increase in money supply, unlike other goods, [does not] confer a social benefit. The public at large is not made richer. Whereas new consumer ...

  John Mauldin's Outside the Box — Authority: 453
  My long time readers are familiar with Jeremy Grantham of GMO as I quote him a lot.

Menger makes it abundantly clear, however, ...
