@orbinho.bsky.social been hearing this take and on an eyeball test I agree, but I wonder if there's a simple statistic or way of quantifying this? Non-Gyökeres goals when he is in is probably a bit too simple. Do data collectors have info on when players are double marked or how close defenders are?

I think its reasonable and that there is some evidence that low rates may contribute to financial fragility also. Big question imo is to what extent, how much does it depend on other variables, and what are the trade offs for growth, inflation, and other real outcomes.

I dont think its a completely proven fact, but there is both logic and empirical evidence to the idea that low rates may contribute to financial crises.

I have some sympathy for this view, but its a very delicate tightrope walk. Higher rates also reduce incomes and weaken balance sheets, which increase financial fragility.

Central Banking Before 1800: A Rehabilitation by Ulrich Bindseil
An excellent summary and exploration of early central banking. It takes as its starting place, the prevailing thesis by Goodhart that central banking really began around 1800 with the Bank of England and

"Solenoid" by Mircea Cărtărescu
Exceptional. Cartarescu draws on his own experience as a teacher in Soviet-era Romania, but infused with the metaphysical labyrinths and magical realism of Borges and the alienation and absurdity of Kakfa.
