Ultra low interest rates were and are a key factor behind the ongoing capital market crisis.

If real rates were even modestly positive, funds would not have to take huge risks to acheive half war decent returns.

What we are seeing today is largely the blowback from many years of artificially low rates aimed at propping up various bubbles and preventing a recession at all costs.
