  • @BigTex1454 Indeed. Market forces tend to be right

  • Central banks do 2 things primarily. They reduce/raise interest rates and expand the money supply.

    Both actions either cause inflation or malinvestment. Sometimes both.

    A central bank with all of the tools at their disposal cannot effectively and efficiently run an economy.

    A few key people guessing what the interest rate should be, when market forces are indicating otherwise, is a foolish endeavor.

    A central bank leads to central planning, which inevitably leads to Fascism
