346 interest rate hikes have taken place to date around the world, an absolute record since the 1980s !
The only weapon to counter inflation is for the key rate of a central bank to exceed the rate of inflation by around 150 basis points, knowing that this rate must be maintained at these levels long enough.
Are central banks ready to do so? YES
Will this cause a recession? YES
Dear readers,
This blog is yours: I maintain it diligently, with both consistency and passion. Thousands of articles and analyses are available to you here, some dating all the way back to 1993!
What were once considered heterodox views on macroeconomics have, over time, become widely accepted and recognized. Regardless, my positions have always been sincere.
As you can imagine — whether you’re discovering this site for the first time or have been reading me for years — the energy and time I dedicate to my research are substantial. This work will remain volunteer-based, and freely accessible to all.
I’ve made this payment platform available, and I encourage you to support my efforts through one-time or recurring donations.
A heartfelt thank you to all those who choose to support my work.
