It was a response, Raghuram Rajan argues, that set a dangerous precedent: the more centrals bank did, the more they were expected to do, and the more they ended up doing. \u003ci\u003eMonetary Policy and Its Unintended Consequences\u003c\/i\u003e looks back at what this meant for where we are now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA former central banker who foresaw the 2008 crisis and wrote a bestselling book about the risks of excessively accommodative monetary policy, Rajan takes a hard look at central bank behavior and its embrace of increasingly aggressive strategies to keep economies afloat. Despite efforts to strengthen markets, the 2020 pandemic showed economies remain as vulnerable as ever to adverse shocks, prompting large-scale interventions that, in the case of Covid, led to persistent inflation and market volatility. By examining these undertheorized outcomes, Rajan hopes central banks will recognize the unintended consequences of using all of the instruments available to them, which will encourage them to return to their core mandates of low inflation and financial stability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonetary Policy and Its Unintended Consequences\u003c\/i\u003e is the most thorough account yet of the choices central banks have made to meet the economic challenges of our century and why they must rethink these choices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raghuram Rajan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026254704X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262547048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024","brand":"Raghuram Rajan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119377936639,"sku":"9780262547048","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c45a54c9-2eed-4f00-95f8-4ce2fcae828d.jpg?v=1687409038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monetary-policy-and-its-unintended-raghuram-rajan-9780262547048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
