Ledare i Financial Times öppnar för Helicopter Money
Ekonomer och andra måste lägga Joakim von Anka bakom sig, skrev jag här i går.
Detta upptogs inte väl av alla. Det får man ta.
I dag kan man läsa en ledare i Financial Times som skriver:
Helicopter money is a valid tool for central bankers
Quantitative easing programmes may be here for the long term
Without limits, allowing a government to finance itself by creating money can lead to hyperinflation. But these risks can be manageable
There is no clear distinction between quantitative easing and monetary financing.
The scale of today’s downturn means even the most direct monetary financing, such as “helicopter money”, or handing cash to the public, should remain an option.
