An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
IMO, this is the most clear-headed observation on the BoE paper.
It's worth pointing out that one of the truest believers in monetarism, the godfather of market monetarists, Robert Hetzel, is entirely on side with these operational aspects.
The irrelevance of the money multiplier, reverse causality, an endogenous money supply -- they're critical to understanding the operational aspects but they can be easily incorporated in a monetarist model with a natural rate of interest and an inflation/NGDP targeting central bank.

"In observing, you will be observing, and may by no means be perceiving," Acts 28:26
