Reflections of Ben Bernanke on his handling of the 2008 financial crisis and quantitative easing (QE)
03/03/2009
Bernanke says the least credible criticism of QE is that it leads to inflation, the most credible that it could destabilize markets. So far in early 2014 he sees no signs of inflation or destabilizing markets. He says QE has worked better in practice than it does in theory. Christina Romer says the Fed's independence is best preserved by having decisions made by experts. Bernanke points out that decisions made for the short term can only erode that independence. It will take the public some time to understand what he has done, says Bernanke.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
