pstrongmillgramstrong ive never been able to take a stand on that mostly because theres this moment in robert nozicks a relnoopener hrefhttpslinkspringercomchapter1010072f9789401714662_7 target_blank datahrefhttpslinkspringercomchapter1010072f9789401714662_7discussion of the newcomb paradoxa should we pause to tell the audience p
pstrongcowenstrong no no this is not for them this is for us they can google p
pstrongmillgramstrong oh this is for us ok nozick said look heres what happens when you get a class or not even a class people talk about newcombs paradox some people end up having one view and some people end up having the other view each side has the argument for their own view but they dont have the explanation of whats wrong with the other argument then nozick says and i think this is absolutely on target it doesnt help to just repeat your own argument more slowly and more loudlyp
psince i dont know whats wrong with the whichever other argument it is i dont have a viewp
pstrongcowenstrong if you dont have a view doesnt that by default put you close to the onebox position it means you dont consider the dominance principle selfevident because youre not sure that in fact youre getting more by opting for the two boxes quantum mechanics is weird aliens may be weirder yet you dont know what to do why not just take the slightly smaller prize and opt for one box not with extreme conviction but you would be a default mildly agnostic oneboxerp
pstrongmillgramstrong who knows what i would do if somebody turned up and gave me the p
pbut let me say something a little bit to the meta level and then ill speak to the view that i would be a oneboxer i live in a world where i feel disqualified from a privilege that almost everybody around me has people are supposed to have opinions about all kinds of things they have opinions about politics and they have opinions about sports teams and they have opinions about who knows whatp
pim in the very peculiar position of being in a job where im paid to have opinions i feel that i cant have opinions unless ive worked for them and i can back them up and that means that unless ive done my homework unless i have an argument for the opinion i dont have it so i dontp
pnow going back from the meta level kind of one level down lets stop and think about whats built into the p
pwhen you a relnoopener hrefhttpscorporatefinanceinstitutecomresourcesknowledgeotherdominantstrategy target_blank datahrefhttpscorporatefinanceinstitutecomresourcesknowledgeotherdominantstrategyexplain dominancea to a classroom you say look here are the different options you have and i guess the options are used to the column and here are the different states of the world and you can see that for each state of the world this option does better than that option so you should take p
ptheres a lot built into that already for example that the world is carved up into these different the state space is carved up and your option space is carved up and you dont get to rethink recharacterize the characterization of the things that you do is already given to you and its fixed its an idealizationp
puntil the situation arrived and i had a chance to face it and think about it i wouldnt know whether to accept that idealization i know that sounds really coy but the principled view is that since i dont have an argument i dont have an opinionp

60d2798bef286f5055d447c9 | My Conversation with the very very smart David Deutsch | divpi think this episode came off as weird and testy as i described it to one friend but i like weird and testy here is a relnoopener hrefhttpsconversationswithtylercomepisodesdaviddeutsch target_blankthe audio video and transcripta here is one excerptp
blockquote
pstrongcowen stronghow do you think the manyworlds interpretation of quantum mechanics relates to the view that just in terms of space the size of our current universe is infinite and therefore everything possible is happening in itp
pstrongdeutsch strongit complicates the discussion of probability but theres no overlap between that notion of infinity and the everettian notion of infinity if we are infinite there because the emdifferentiationem as i prefer to call what used to be called splitting when i perform an experiment which can go one of two ways the influence of that spreads out first i see it i may write it down i may write a scientific paper when i write a paper about it and report the results that will cause the journal to split or to differentiate into two journals and so on this influence cannot spread out faster than the speed of lightp
pso an everett universe is really a misnomer because what we see in real life is an everett bubble within the universe everything outside the bubble is as it was its undifferentiated or to be exact its exactly as differentiated as it was before then as the bubble spreads out the universe becomes or the multiverse becomes more differentiated but the bubble is always finitep
pstrongcowen stronghow do your views relate to the philosophical modal realism of a relnoopener hrefhttpsplatostanfordeduentriesdavidlewis target_blank datahrefhttpsplatostanfordeduentriesdavidlewisdavid lewisap
pstrongdeutsch strongthere are interesting parallels as a physicist im interested in what the laws of physics tell us is so rather than in philosophical reasoning about things unless they impinge on a problem that i have so yes im interested in for example the continuity of the self whether if theres another version of me a very large number of lightyears away in an infinite universe and its identical is that really me are there two of me one of me i dont entirely know the answer to that its why i dont entirely know the answer to whether i would go in a emstar trekem transporterp
pthe modal realism certainly involves a lot of things that i dont think exist at least not physically im open to the idea that nonphysical things do exist like the natural numbers i think exist theres a difference between the second even prime which doesnt exist and the infinite number of prime numbers which i think do exist i think that there is more than one mode of existence but the theory that all modes of existence are equally real i see no point in that the overlap between everett and david lewis is i think more coincidental than illuminatingp
pstrongcowen strongif the universe is infinite and if david lewis is correct should i feel closer to the david lewis copies of me the copies or near copies of me in this universe or the near copies of me in the multiverse it seems very crowded all of a sudden something whose purpose was to be economical doesnt feel that way to me by the end of the metaphysicsp
pstrongdeutsch strongit doesnt emfeelem like that to you well a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwjstororgstable40885126seq1 target_blank datahrefhttpswwwjstororgstable40885126seq1as wittgenstein is supposed to have saida i dont know whether he really did if it were true what emwouldem it feel like it would feel just like thisp

pstrongcowen strongare we living in a simulationp
pstrongdeutsch strongno because living in a simulation is precisely a case of there being a barrier beyond which we cannot understand if were living in a simulation thats running on some computer we cant tell whether that computer is made of silicon or iron or whether it obeys the same laws of computation like a relnoopener hrefhttpsplatostanfordeduentriesturingmachine target_blank datahrefhttpsplatostanfordeduentriesturingmachineturing computabilitya and a relnoopener hrefhttpsyoutubemckubqc6gkut362 target_blank datahrefhttpsyoutubemckubqc6gkut362quantum computabilitya and so on as ours we cant know anything about the physics therep
pwell we can know that it is at least a superset of our physics but thats not saying very much its not telling us very much its a typical example of a theory that can be rejected out of hand for the same reason that the supernatural ones if somebody says zeus did it then im going to say how should i respond if i take that on board how should i respond to the next person that comes along and tells me that odin did itp
pstrongcowenstrong but it seems youre rejecting an empirical claim on methodological grounds and i get very suspicious philosophers typically reject transcendental arguments like oh we must be able to perceive reality because if we couldnt how could we know that we couldnt perceive reality it doesnt prove you can perceive reality rightp

pstrongcowen stronga few very practical questions to close given the way british elections seem to have been running that the tories win every time does that mean the errorcorrection mechanism of the british system of government now is weakerp
pstrongdeutsch strongno unfortunately the so as you probably know i favor the a relnoopener hrefhttpsdictionarycambridgeorgusdictionaryenglishfirstpastthepost target_blank datahrefhttpsdictionarycambridgeorgusdictionaryenglishfirstpastthepostfirstpastthepost systema in the purest possible form as it is implemented in britain i think that is the most errorcorrecting possible electoral system although i must add that the electoral system is only a tiny facet of the institutions of criticism and consent in general its just a tiny thing but it is the best onep
pits not perfect it has some of the defects of for example proportional representation proportional representation has the defect that it causes coalitions all the time coalitions are badp
pstrongcowen strongyou have a delegated monitor with the coalition right with a coalition say in the netherlands which is richer than the united kingdom you typically have coalition governments some parties in the coalition are delegated monitors of the other parties parties are better informed than voters isnt that a better popperian mechanism for error correctionp

pstrongcowen strongputting path dependence aside if you were trying to give us the most fundamental explanation of why sexual dimorphism is different in birds compared to mammals what would that bep
pstrongprum strongwell thats actually a emreallyem big question [laughs]p
pstrongcowen strongof course but the most fundamental factor what is itp
pstrongprum strongthe most fundamental factor is that most birds dont have a penisp
pstrongcowen strongtalk me through the equilibrium therep
pstrongprum strong[laughs] theres a lot thats where we start most birds dont have a penis which means that one of the things that happens in avian evolution thats distinct from mammals is that the kids require a lot of care theyre growing up in the nest theyre hatching out of an egg but theyre very very vulnerable until they can flyp
pbirds have a very rapid period of rapid development that means that they grow up and leave the nest and you need two parents to do that efficiently in most diets or most kinds of ecologies that means the dads got to be at the nestp
pwe usually thought that you have social monogamy at least two birds helping raise the young because the young are so needy and they have to grow up quickly but theres another possibility which is that they could evolve to be so needy and grow up quickly embecauseem they managed to get males at the nestp
pone of the things that happened in the a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwnaturecomarticlesnature15697 target_blank datahrefhttpswwwnaturecomarticlesnature15697phylogeny of birdsa youve got ostriches and their relatives and youve got chickens and ducks and then youve got the rest of birds and thats a bunch thats the vast majority of them and in that lineage leading to the rest of birds the penis evolved away and the question is why my own theory is that female birds preferred mates that did not have a penisp
pone of the ancillary benefits of that one of the correlated benefits of that is that they were no longer subject to sexual coercion or sexual violence they could be coerced behaviorally but they couldnt be forcibly fertilized that means that they have freedom of choice and what do they do with their freedom of choice a relnoopener hrefhttpsroyalsocietypublishingorgdoi101098rstb20110285 target_blank datahrefhttpsroyalsocietypublishingorgdoi101098rstb20110285they choose beautya one of the reasons why birds are so beautiful is that males dont have a penis they have to be subject to choice in order to effect reproduction and also they have to invest if females require itp
pstrongcowen strongnow sometimes albatrosses dont breed until theyre 20 years old or even on average maybe its what 10 years old what are they doing in the meantime thats so importantp

palexander the grate has spent 40 years more than half of his life living on the streets and heating grates of washington dc he prefers the label nfa no fixed address rather than homeless since in his view were all a little bit homeless even millionaires are just one catastrophe away from losing their mansions its a life that certainly comes with many challenges but that hasnt stopped him from enjoying the immense cultural riches of the capital he and his friends have probably attended more lectures foreign films concerts talks and tours at local museums than many of its wealthiest denizens the result is a perspective as unique as the city itselfp
palexander joined tyler to discuss the littlerecognized issue of toilet insecurity how covid19 affected his lifestyle the hierarchy of local shelters the origins of the cootie game the difference between being nfa in dc versus other cities how networking helped him navigate life as a new nfa how the capitol hill freebie finders fellowship got started why he loves school field trip season his most memorable freebie food experience the reason he isnt enthusiastic about a universal basic income the economic sword of damocles he sees hanging over america how local development is changing dc his design for a better community shelter and morep

pstrongsullivan strongwell and so you get used to real conversations about people and you dont mistake credentials for intelligence you realize that people outside of the system may be more perceptive about whats going wrong with it than people buried within it i honestly find life more interesting the more variety of people you get to know and meet and that means from all sorts of different ways of lifep
pthe good thing about being gay i will tell you is that that happens more often than if youre straight because its a great equalizer you are more likely to come across someone who really is from a totally different socioeconomic group than you are through sexual and romantic attraction and indeed the existence of this subterranean world that is taken from every other particular class and structure than you would if you just grew up in a straight world where you didnt have to question these things and where your social life was bound up with your work or with your professional peersp
pthe idea for me of dating someone in my office would be absolutely bizarre for example i cant believe all these straight people that just look around them and say oh lets get married whereas gay people have this immense social system that can throw up anybody from any way of life into your social circlep

blockquotepat the end of 2020 as vaccines were rolling out en masse in the northern hemisphere the tga [therapeutic goods administration at] flatly refused to issue the emergency authorisations other regulators did as a result the tga didnt approve the pfizer vaccine until january 25 more than six weeks after the us food and drug administration fda itself not exactly the poster child of expeditiousnessp
psimilarly the tga didnt approve the astrazeneca vaccine until february 16 almost seven weeks after the ukp
pin case youre wondering what difference does six weeks make think again were our rollout six weeks faster the current sydney outbreak would likely never have exploded saving many lives and livelihoods in the face of an exponentially spreading virus that has become twice as infectious six weeks is an eternity and indeed nothing has changed the tga approved the moderna vaccine this week eight months after the fdap
pit approved looser cold storage requirements for the pfizer vaccine which would allow the vaccine to be more widely distributed and reduce wastage on april 8 six weeks after the fda and it approved the pfizer vaccine for use by 12 to 15yearolds on july 23 more than 10 weeks after the fdap

pin reality this chaotic humiliating withdrawal significantly increases the risk of a terror attack on the us homeland aside from revealing a dysfunctional american foreign policy apparatus in intelligence terms afghanistan is now a black hole even if we are able to extricate some of our afghan intelligence assets the us has lost a key source of information on jihadist activityp

pthe second problem informing bidens approach concerns the moral decay of western civilisation when a fish decays the head rots first the same can be said for the west weve become so focused on microaggressions in america that we have lost sight of the emmacroaggressionsem happening to women around the worldp

pin todays perverse american culture however more attention is devoted to the use of preferred gender pronouns than to the plight of women whose most basic rights to education personal autonomy the right to be present in a public space are either removed or under serious threatp

pthis caveat is important women will only have the rights afforded to them by islam under orthodox sharia law women can inherit property but not at the same level as men generally half as much women can testify in court but their testimony is not equal to a mans word women have a right to divorce under specific circumstances but not a unilateral right as men have a male guardian is essential for a woman a woman can have one husband whereas a man can have up to four wivesp
pyet the texts of sharia law do not fully capture the brutal reality of daily life for women under a regime like the talibans in the last period of taliban rule which ended with the invasion of 2001 women were forced to wear the burka when outside if they were allowed to leave the house at all they were not educated in any meaningful sense other than in some cases the most basic religious education they were forced into marriages often as young girls with men who used them as chattels brutal punishments for small transgressions made women little better than slavesp

pcerebrus is a good example of ai complementing workers and making them more productive rather than merely replacing workers i would also point out that the phenomenon being described here by long is a big reason why economist and productivity optimist erik brynjolfsson thinks productivity growth over the next decade will exceed consensus forecasts as he recently a relnoreferrer noopener hrefhttpslongbetsorg868 target_blankexplaineda in long bet with economist and productivity pessimist robert gordonp

611eda6ff50d6f279653f5ff | Don’t blame testosterone for male violence | pwhen he appeared on channel 4s emafter darkem to discuss do men have to be violent with radical feminist kate millett actor oliver reed was drunk a woman will never ever forgive a man if he fucks her he explained you are the receivers you take our seed look after our babies and well go do the hunting for youp
pit was 1991 the height of the gulf war and the debate on militarism masculine stereotypes and violence towards women was punctuated with references to testosterone at one point after he had nipped to the loo and topped up his glass reed leant over to kiss millett much to her disgust leading one male guest to pronounce a man can never have too much [testosterone]p
pin her new book a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwamazoncouktestosteronestoryhormonedominatesdividesdp1788402928 target_blankemtestosterone the story of the hormone that dominates and divides usema carole hooven explores how the hormone is often presented as both a justification and excuse for male dominance over women women have far lower levels of testosterone so it has often been argued that housework and childrearing come naturally to them men on the other hand are programmed to be hellbent on impregnating as many women as possible fighting off male rivals and dragging a carcass home for dinnerp
pbut as hooven acknowledges in her fascinating book despite the undeniable effect of the hormone on our behaviour how we relate to others is based on evolving and complex external forcesp
pboth sexes produce testosterone though men create up to twenty times more testosterone then is at the heart of the nature versus nurture debate for feminists it is our culture rather than hormones that most influences gendered behaviours there are for instance enough studies which show that women enjoy a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwtheguardiancomlifeandstyle2018oct13astronglibidoandboredbymonogamythetruthaboutwomenandsex target_blankplenty of sexa and risk on par with the most testosteronefuelled menp
pits the same with male and female behaviour neither of which can be reduced to binary a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwyoutubecomwatchvo1tfbk3971s target_blankken and barbiea stereotypes as a lesbian and gender nonconforming feminist i know this only too well when i rejected traditional female toys and dress i was frequently told i had too much testosterone and that was what made me a tomboy even into adult life i have lost count of the times i have been told im a lesbian or that i will grow a beard and never feel a desire to reproduce because i have too much testosteronep
pits a load of nonsense but it raises an important question how is it that the genetic and hormonal components of sex can create two distinctly different reproductive systems and yet human male and female behaviour shows itself to be flexible diverse and often surprisingly similarp
phoovers expertise is in natural sciences and biological anthropology and the answer she suggests is that testosterone might strongly influence how we behave too much of it can make males more aggressive and those with raised levels often end up taking too many risks so they tend to crash and burnp
pthat may seem logical but it does not explain violence against women or rape as a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwcordeliafinecom target_blankcordelia finea author of the acclaimed emtestosterone rex em2017 points out most men are emnotem violent which leaves a hole in the theory that testosterone drives behaviourp
pnevertheless if we are to properly understand sex differences we still need to educate ourselves about testosterone crucially the controversy around trans women in sport namely that going through male puberty results not just in far higher levels of tesosterone but also greater bone and muscle mass is tackled headon by hoover you may be wondering if natural variation in t [testosterone] levels has anything to do with being transgender in the first place she writes and given what we know about testosterone thats a logical question the answer is we dont knowp
pindeed hooven found that there is not much relation between higher testosterone levels and performance among professional athletes when compared to others of the same sex between the two sexes however the link is very much stronger and this is because t levels are dramatically higher in males and have a lot to do with the fact that they are stronger faster and more aggressive than the vast majority of their female counterparts that is of course why we have sexsegregated sports in the first placep
pif we accept that testosterone can cause aggression in males and change behaviour which hooven does should it be used as an excuse in cases of male sexual assault no says hooven because even behaviour related to biology is not hardwired and unchangeable even if biology is a factor in social ill it does not make it determinedp
pyet it is disappointing that hooven relies on questionable data to challenge the reality of male violence for example in picking apart the trope that male violence towards women is inevitable because it is hormonedriven she looks to the violence perpetrated by women on male partners and concludes that with caveats women are as likely to be violent to male partners as viceversa but less likely to kill i have campaigned to end violence towards women and girls for 40 years and every bit of a relnoopener hrefhttpwwwrefugeorgukfilesstatisticsdomesticviolenceandgenderpdf target_blankevidencea from around the a relnoopener hrefhttpswwwwhointnewsroomfactsheetsdetailviolenceagainstwomen target_blankworlda concludes this is simply not the casep
pbut how much does testosterone affect the way men emviewem women one example hooven relies on is that of trans man griffin hansbury and his reaction to t injections during the early days of his transitionp

pwhile even i a hardline social constructionist concede that testosterone can cause strange behaviour and be as potent as oestrogen is for females i strongly suspect there are other explanations for his behaviour surely for example we should put at least emsome emof it down to the privilege and arrogance afforded to men including trans menp
pafter all hansbury is still living in a world where male entitlement and lack of punishment can lead to the dehumanising and oversexualisation of women hansburys testosteroneinduced journey from his previous life as a selfdescribed butch dyke who used to perform poetry about street harassment cannot be blamed on t alonep
pas hooven observes to bring about changes in male behaviour it is not necessary to depress testosterone changes in attitudes and culture can do that all by themselves she is right even if the likes of oliver reed may suggest otherwisep

blockquote
pin the us president joe bidens administration is now pushing third booster shots for people who already have been vaccinated that might be a good idea but it too creates additional uncertainty for travel and migration and for social interaction more broadly if three doses are so important should people be allowed to travel or for that matter interact indoors with only two doses the bar is raised yet againp
pof course the issues do not end with the third dose if the efficacy of the second dose declines significantly in less than a year might the same happen with the third dose how long before four doses are necessary or maybe five or what if yet another significant covid variant comes along and only some people have a booster dose against that strain what then counts as being sufficiently vaccinatedp
pmany americans a relnofollow noopener hrefhttpspbstwimgcommediae9f9vyjwyaa1fhhjpg target_blankseem to be keena to get their third dose but by the nature of counting that number is fewer than the number willing to get two doses furthermore many people might just tire of the stress of dealing with an ongoing stream of obligatory booster shots and stop at one or twop
pthe sad reality is that the twodose standard may not last very long whether abroad or domestically the same is true of the even weaker onedose standard with johnson amp johnson and astrazeneca vaccine mandates will become harder to define and enforce will be less transparent and will probably be less popularp
pif you tell people that three doses are needed for safety but two doses are enough to get you into a concert or government building how are they supposed to sort out the mixed messages it is not obvious that enough people will get the third dose in a timely manner to make that a workable standard for vaccine passportsp
padd to that the a relnofollow noopener hrefhttpsmarginalrevolutioncommarginalrevolution202108thefdaandcdcstandardsonthejjvaccineandtheimmunocompromisedareunintelligiblehtml target_blankproblemsa with the johnson amp johnson vaccine which originally the government urged people to get now those people are not being given comparable chances to obtain boosters in fact they are not yet being given specific guidance at all are they orphaned out of any new vaccine passport system or will supposedly dangerous exceptions be made for them or do they just have to start all overp
pthe big international winner from all this is likely to be mexico which has remained an open country and is not relying on vaccine passports in general i do not admire mexicos lackadaisical covid response but the country may end up in a relatively favorable position most of all when it comes to tourism and international business meetingsp
pas for the us and europe the temptation to escalate required safety measures is understandable but the previous vaccine standards were largely workable ones if they are made tougher they might break down altogetherp

61242539ec6d177dabef069d | The Rise (and Fall) of the Modern Bank of England | pthe notion of an essentially contestable concept means an issue which by its very nature can never be definitively settled no matter how much brilliance is expended on it and about which no logic or evidence can ever force disputing parties to agree thus they are in the words of stuart hampshire permanently and essentially subject to revision and question in short the debate never ends how many such essentially contestable propositions have we seen macroeconomics like politics and philosophy is full of themp
pin macroeconomics one essentially contestable issue is what the ideal nature and functions of a central bank should be given the immense financial and political importance of central banks in a world that runs entirely on the fiat currencies they create and inflate these are critical questions but no answer though it may be in fashion for a time turns out to be permanent crises occur theories run up against surprising reality the debates resume and central bank evolution has no end no ideal final statep
pharold james ema relnoopener hrefhttpswwwamazoncommakingmoderncentralbankmacroeconomicdp1108799493taglawliberty20 target_blankmaking a modern central bankaspan [1]spanem is a very instructive book in this respect it relates in great and often exhausting detail the lengthy debates concerning the functions and organization of that iconic central bank the bank of england in the midst of the financial events of the years 19792003 with a brief but essential update at the end on what has happened since then the bank of england seemed to be engaged in a constant quest to determine what its real function might be james observes the quest involved lots of brilliant minds and colorful personalities and they remind us that it is easier to be brilliant than right when dealing with the economic and financial futurep
pin the longer historical background of these debates and important to their psychology is that the bank as the book usually refers to it had had a great run as the dominant central bank in the world under the gold standard it had impressive traditions going back to its founding in 1694 then in the wake of the financial destruction as well as all the other destruction of the first world war the role of the worlds leading central bank was taken over by the federal reserve representing the newly dominant us dollarp
pstill the bank of england punches internationally above its weight james writes not because of the strength of the british economy but because [quoting paul krugman] of its intellectual adventurousness this intellectual flair is well displayed in the book moreover in its institutional history the bank calls on long experience in the grand sweep of economic and financial evolution in 1979 it was approaching its 300th anniversary while the fed was less than 70 years oldp
pat that point the bank of england was facing severe stress the 1970s were years of crisis everywhere but especially in the uk there was in particular the collapse of the fixed exchange rate world of bretton woods which was the final disappearance of the gold standard over which the bank had once presided there were the two oil price shocks generating substantial instability the global great inflation was roaring the british pound sterling kept getting weakerp
paccording to james the policy discussions of the uk in 1976 were dramatic and humiliating they turned into an indictment of a britain that had failed because of the foreign exchange crisis the governor of the bank of england and the chancellor of the exchequer could not make their scheduled journeys to the imf [international monetary fund] annual meetings the prime humiliation was that britain once a vast imperial and financial power had been forced to ask the imf for a loan which imposed heavy cuts in the government budget goodbye great britain said a 1975 emwall street journalem headlinep
pof course there were different ideas about what to do there was a struggle between differing parts of the british economic establishment a clash [between] treasury and bank the discussions debates and political dialectic between the treasury and the bank are a central theme of the entire book can a central bank be truly independent or is it instead just a subsidiary and a servant of the treasury or is it something in betweenperhaps independent within the government as the federal reserve used to incoherently but diplomatically say for james the relationship between treasury and bank remained permanently haunted by potential or actual controversyp
palways in the background in the bank of england case james points out is this provision of the bank of england act of 1946p
blockquote classwpblockquotepthe treasury may from time to time give such directions to the bank as after consultation with the governor of the bank they think necessary in the public interestpblockquote
pthats pretty clear there is certainly nothing in the federal reserve act about giving directions in that fashion although the us treasury department and the white house always do want to give directions to the fed and sometimes succeed as donald kettl observed in emleadership at the fedem the feds power continues to rest on its political support and james shows how true this is of the bank of englandp
pthe bank of england act of 1998 is more nuanced but does not change who the senior partner isp

figure
pas the book proceeds the bank moves from 1970s humiliation to what appears to be a successful modern central bank by 2003 although that afterwards turns out to be ephemeral along the way were many crises all interestingly related for those with a taste for financial historyp
pthere was another foreign exchange crisis involving more humiliation on black wednesdayseptember 16 1992the pound sank in spite of very costly and ultimately futile support by the bank of england breaking the european exchange rate mechanism of fixed parities and famously making giant profits for george soros and other speculators the experiment in european cooperation had ended in failure bringing a progressive distancing of the uk from europe and was an earlier version of brexit james suggestsp
pthere were multiple credit and banking crises and bailouts these included a deep real estate bust when house prices fell from 1989 to 1993 and many banks fell along with them a larger one national home loans had twofifths of its loan book over two months in arrears there was the scandalous collapse of bcci the bank of credit and commerce international popularly dubbed the bank of crooks and cocaine international in 1991 it looked as if there might be a panic and a run on the midland bank one of the largest banks the bank of england considered midland indeed too big to failp
pthe famous firm of barings londons oldest merchant bank collapsed in 1995 from the notorious losses of a rogue trader in asia barings had also failed in 1890 from argentine entanglements when it was rescued by the bank of england this time it got sold to a dutch bank for one pound the 1995 barings crisis involved a particularly british problem the worry that the queen had very nearly lost some of her fundsp
pthroughout these challenging events the roles of the bank of england as promoter of systemic financial stability provider of financing to combat the panics and financial instability coordinator and regulator of the banking firms and creator of moral hazard by bailouts are prominentall in addition to its key monetary inflationcontrolling role how many functions should the bank of england have this kept being debatedp
pin the 1990s the bank began to specify essential or core purposes in particular initially three currency or price stability financial stability and the promotion of the uk financial service sector james points out however the bank still had fourteen highlevel strategic objectives twentyseven area strategic aims fortynine business objectives and fiftyfive management objectivesp
pand then came the big redesign complex intensely political intellectually provocative negotiations among strong personalities in the government and the bank related in enjoyable journalistic detail led to the 1998 bank of england act this act sharply focused the bank on the core function of maintaining price stability which as defined turned out to be an inflation target the bank would get to choose the methods to achieve this though it would be given the target the act also took financial supervision away from the bank and moved it all to a new consolidated regulator the financial services authority fsap
pthe result was an independent modern central bank in line with the international central banking theories and fashion of the new 21st century as james explains a modern central bank has a much narrower and more limited set of tasks or functions than the often historic institution from which it developed the objective is the provision of monetary stability nothing more and nothing less for the bank of england by the early 2000s that task looked like it had been achieved with stunning successp
pit takes the book 450 scholarly pages to reach this outcome the remaining 11 pages relate how it didnt work the modern central bank turned out to be far from the end of central banking history or the end of the related debatesp
