Floored!

Meer over het boek

The book explores the pivotal shift in U.S. monetary policy initiated by the Federal Reserve in October 2008, when it began paying interest on banks' reserve balances. This transition to a "floor system" fundamentally changed how the Fed influenced economic activity, relying on interest rates on reserves instead of traditional methods. The author argues that this new approach has led to significant and largely negative consequences for the economy, providing a critical analysis of its impact on financial stability and growth.
