2. Back to a General Theory - An Essay in Persuasion
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Many Western countries experience failing monetary policy after the 2008 financial crisis.

D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Current macroeconomic doctrine holds that the aim of monetary policy should be a steady inflation rate aligned with expectations.
