So the Icelandic Krona has 8% real rates, yet prices are rising there. Please explain for me the efficacy of monetary policy.

<<<"Tighten the money and you solve most of the problems like inflation, lack of saving, asset bubbles, massive fraud and corruption, global misallocation of capital, collapsing living standards, global trade imbalances, lax lending standards etc.">>>>

My gosh......that's so "old school" and makes too much sense! This is the new-era of Orwellian economics don't you know???

Let's continue the chaos!.....we'll eventually get "order from the chaos" I'm sure....

Australia has kept its real short term interest rates consistently at 3% or more -- its current rate is 7% and they keep increasing it. Yet its CPI inflation is the same as ours. Australia is also running consistent government budget surpluses, and the public debt is zero -- they paid it off years ago.
