Did we experience a Pandemic-style People’s QE?

Debunking Economics - the podcast - Un pódcast de Steve Keen & Phil Dobbie - Miercoles

Categorías:

QE was big news before the pandemic. Then, as governments issued bailouts to keep us at home, central banks went into overdrive, buying up the mushrooming bond issuance from government. In some ways, it was a sort of People’s QE, because the money was finding its way directly into people’s bank accounts. So, how does that compare to the QE before we all got ill? And is the pandemic-style QE at all responsible for the rise in inflation we’ve experienced since? Phil asks Steve if there are lessons to be learned about People’s QE and inflation. Hosted on Acast.
