你不是不懂經濟,而是沒弄懂危機中的聯準會!張忠謀、陳南光等重量級人士 聯袂推薦2022年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主、聯準會前主席柏南克,探討二十一世紀貨幣政策 最新力作!\\解答全球最受關注的央行動向與決策//自上世紀大通膨,到本世紀金融危機與新冠疫情,全世界都在看,聯準會的下一步會怎麼做?但不斷跨越政策紅線的聯準會,真的還有能力穩定經濟嗎?柏南克從歷史的視角檢視聯準會,從1960年代寫起,期間聯準會主席從馬丁嬗遞到鮑爾,中間歷經伏克爾、格林斯潘、葉倫,以及柏南克等人,政策方針、工具與操作手法已顯著改變。這些改變深受這段時期的通膨走勢變化、自然利率長期下降,以及金融不穩定風險增加的影響。柏南克以其諾貝爾獎學者與聯準會前主席身分,討論這期間經濟與金融上的重大議題,以及聯準會如何因應這些挑戰。聯準會在危機中扮演的角色已一再擴大,不斷跨越過去被視為禁忌的紅線,由最後貸款者轉為最後購買者(buyer of last resort),並充當信用配置者(credit allocator)。央行除了承擔部分財政當局的紓困責任,還兼任類似於商業銀行的角色。\\美元是美國的貨幣,卻成了全世界的大問題?//《柏南克談聯準會》說明聯準會的背景與演變,也推測了它的未來。柏南克以全新的觀點,帶領讀者深入聯準會一窺堂奧,並說明它做了什麼及其背後的邏輯。他指出經濟的改變如何推動聯準會的創新,也列出聯準會面臨的新挑戰,包括通膨再現、加密貨幣、金融不穩定的風險增加,以及聯準會的獨立性所受到的威脅。本書也揭露聯準會發布政策的決策過程,以及聯準會主事者的性格與理念。是有興趣了解現代金融、投資或經濟趨勢的人必讀的傑作。
