Ahhaha: Your thesis is correct - it DRIVES TO THE HEART of what is structurally wrong with our global monetary system. The intent, to rescue markets at critical times, is unjustified. The ability to create credit at arbitrary interest rates, usually below those of the free market, creates a long term instability. There are several negative consequences: liquifying markets which are economically unviable, shunting investment from needed areas, and supporting moral hazard. Ultimately, the system breaks down, and only 1 or 2 in ten million, such as you and I, are able to explain why.

That Uncle Milty has defected to the Keynesian camp is subtle but unmistakeable. He is one of the finest monetary historians, and his elucidation of the role of the free market and the flow of capital is praiseworthy. He has, however, become an apologist for the Fed. It is sad that one so learned cannot stand up for his long forgotten principles.
