Greed = Low Interest Rates The low interest environment and policy of quantitative easing is easily the most misunderstood, misappropriated, gossiped and ignored issue impacting our lives in the 21st Century. An issue of contradictions. Depending on who you speak to it is the source of all our ills or it is saving us. It is the conspiracy theory of gold nuts, it is the bible of Keynesian ideologues. It is trickling benefits into the economy, it is creating massive inequality. It is debated regularly in the financially-literate bubbles of society, and it is never discussed among the mainstream press or among the public. The problem is that the numbers do not lie. Central bank policy is the main source of greed in the 21st Century.
