I don't see what monetarism had to do with it."<br /><br />Ralph Monetarism teaches that "banks lend out the Reserves" ... so they thought that if they increased Bank Reserves, then banks would have more to "lend out!" and it would help stimulate bank lending in 2008...<br /><br />So that is where the "bank crisis" was created... Monetarists at the CB and Treasury modified policy to rapidly increase Reserves at the depositories and suppressed the Leverage Ratio (A-L)/A below minimum threshold and the credit markets shut down and caused cascading bankruptcies and defaults...<br /><br />Mnuchin just admitted as much the other day Mnuchin said “It shouldn’t impact the market one way or another whether we put money at the Fed or at a bank.”<br /><br />He's saying "it shouldn't" NOT "it doesn't"... Mnuchin has figured this out<br /><br />"putting money at the bank" is in Monetarist terms "increasing the money supply" which they think is somehow helpful when if you are competent and qualified in the regulatory accounting you can see that it depresses the regulatory leverage ratio and PREVENTS banks from lending or increasing lending...<br /><br />the whole GFC was a Monetarist created disaster that was completely avoidable if they had competent people in there directing policy instead of unqualified Monetarists..<br /><br />In this way Monetarism CAUSED the bank crisis/GFC...Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082502216984169113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-70810854659392404762020-02-20T08:31:30.203-05:002020-02-20T08:31:30.203-05:00Yeah Bob right here's Kevin:
