“Janet Yellen was the strongest advocate for unlimited quantitative easing."

- Betsy Duke, Fed Governor from 2008 to 2013 Quoted by Chris Leonard, in his great book, "The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy."

“We have yet to reach a full reckoning of the consequences of the era of easy money, but it's abundantly clear that it ruined us. The damage was incremental at first, but the perverse incentives and distortions of easy money--zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP), credit available without limits to those who are more equal than others--accelerated the institutionalization of these toxic dynamics throughout the economy and society. Fifteen long years later, the damage cannot be undone because the entire status quo is now dependent on the easy-money bubble for its survival.”
