Fed can never be independent. Economists should have readers for any further comments they seek what they may not be.
Long before the Fed existed and exactly the same to date, there have been and are all private, profits with a source of credit ready to liquefy the financial institutions that last short -term liquidity problems despite quality assets. These entities, including the combinations of real banks, acted and act as regulators exclusively precisely because no private entity gives parachutes.
Talking about Fed’s supernatural. Although it was created to lend to “soluble banks”, no solvent bank would never need the Fed. See the previous paragraph. This means that the Fed exists to drown the market message.
Fed officials are appointed by politicians, often after months and years of devoting politicians. Considering only Ben Bernanke, willing to prove that he was a “Republican” as a way to throw away the favor with the Republicans who could whisper to then President George Bush for his supposed features, Bernanke destroyed a countless Republican.
There is no doubt that others, including your own, have been pointing out many cases between politicians (this includes presidents) and central banks as proof that central banks are only “independent” in the name, but, if anything, the comment was similar. The Fed is an external creation of Congress, whose officials are appointed by the Presidents and confirmed by Congress. Of course it is political and the opposite of the independent.
After that, see its exaggeration once again in relation to market entities that have long and capable central bank functions to provide short -term liquidity to the solvent, along with the setting to ensure sound function based on these loans. Which is just a comment that the Fed is excessive than political planningWhere he does what the actors in the market will not do and have never done.
Nevertheless, economic personalities in academia, such as Alexander Salter, continue to write confidently about the so -called Central Bank independence. That they write about it explains the weakness. What is political in creation simply cannot be.
Even if it was? It wouldn’t matter. Economists are still economists, which means that they are not independent of the myriad delusions that condemn their profession. The Fed employs more economists than any other entity in the world, and economists believe that economic growth is causing inflation. On the contrary, but Fed’s “independent” economists expose the central bank to even greater exaggeration with their view that the credit, which is a productive result of growth (we lend money to what can be exchanged), must shrink when – yes – the economy is increasing. This is the proof of a central bank in a fallacy and is ready to further drown the real market signals. And it’s not the only one.
While the money in traffic is always and everywhere a mirror of economic activity, Salter Caucuses with a growing number of doctoralists who believe that central banks can and should have Draw centrally the so -called “money offer” so that they can, by extension, centrally design unemployment rates, national income and the false screaming GDP. These people who are in monstrous fallacy that have rooted in central design describe themselves as “market monetaries”. That they complain very much with their self-inscription offections.
Fed on Auto-Pilot? Salter et al have paid the Lip service to the latter, but then who writes the code for the operation of the proverbial robot? The same economists who believe in the same misleading economic concepts? Well, yes.
The Fed was created to do for the American political class that market actors will not do. This means that the Fed exists to intervene politically where market actors will not. Fed is not independent and cannot be.
