Never saw this data taken back so far before.
If this data is accurate, you can see how this CB policy of creating abnormally large amounts of risk-free bank assets caused the Great Depression and WW2 in addition to our more recent GFC in 2008 and resultant chaos.
The 2008/2009 policy was faster to reach the apex while the 1930's policy took a longer time to max and causued the much longer grind of what became known as the Great Depression.
The twitter poster claims that the decade of non-risk asset reduction directly following this damaging policy resulted in 2.4% annual "real!" growth in GDP per capita while a commenter states the stock market averaged a 16% compound annual growth rate over the same period of policy reversal. This period became the one harkened back to via the "again" in Trump's current 'make America great AGAIN' slogan...
