Great commentary on the human tendency of blaming externalities as to avoid serious self reflection!

See my above reply to dragonwriter. You're right, of MV = PT they have only manipulated the M (Money supply) so far. But unless this destructive dogma and school of thought is put …

Their job is to act a lender of last resort, not to centrally plan the economy despite what you think. They have as of only past couple decades taken on the latter role of central …
