The risk of a global crash has been low, because deleveraging has proceeded apace in most advanced economies the effects of fiscal drag are smaller monetary policies remain accommodative and asset reflation has had positive wealth effects. Moreover, many emerging market countries are still growing robustly, maintain sound macroeconomic policies, and are starting to implement growth enhancing structural reforms.

And that leverage much of it the result of monetary expansion in most of the world s advanced economies is not even serving the goal of boosting long term aggregate demand. After all, accommodative monetary policies can, at best, merely buy time for more durable sources of demand to emerge.

The abundance of liquidity sloshing around the world the result of developed countries ultra accommodative monetary policies has made the task more difficult still, as the smallest sign of growth in an emerging economy can attract foreign capital. If not properly managed, these flows can precipitate a credit and asset price boom and drive up exchange rates.

This prideful interpretation amounted to the siren song of an extremely accommodative monetary policy. Unable to disentangle the global and domestic pressures suppressing inflation, a price targeting Fed has erred consistently on the side of easy money.

Besides structural reforms, building new momentum will require pulling all possible levers that can support global demand. Accommodative monetary policy will remain essential for as long as growth remains anemic though we must pay careful attention to potential spillovers.

Policy would still be accommodative if the Fed maintained low interest rates rather than the zero level that was appropriate for a panic. And this would give savers less of an incentive to search for yield, thus avoiding financial instability.

The disinflation and ample liquidity created by the accommodative monetary policy of central governments have driven the market interest rates down to the extent that the fixed income markets no longer offer the returns that investors have enjoyed in the past.

The ramifications for interest rate spreads, emerging market equities, and housing demand, among much else, are the subject of widespread debate. But, as markets learn to cope with a less accommodative monetary policy, there could be an important silver lining, which most people have ignored.

We have policies that reward sprawl we have all kinds of policies.

First, it is important to acknowledge that weak aggregate demand and anemic economic growth, not an acceleration in the labor displacement rate, explains the slow jobs growth of the last decade. Under these conditions, monetary policy should remain accommodative and further fiscal austerity should be eschewed.
