IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde declared central bankers
and finance ministers to be the heroes of recent economic crises
for taking corrective action while national politicians squabbled.
What enabled them to do so? In the wake of Brexit, chaotic trade
policies in the United States, and resurgent nationalism around the
world, national politicians are quarrelling again, meanwhile the
markets are roiling. Can we again depend on economic technocrats to
save the day for these national politicians and the rest of us?
What happens if they fail or, perhaps worse, go too far? In this
timely book, Shambaugh answers these questions using recent
economic crises in Argentina, the United States and Europe as case
studies for analysing the intersections of power, politics and
markets. By specifying the interactions between political
uncertainty, market intervention, and investor risk, Shambaugh
predicts how economic technocrats manage market behaviour by
shifting expectations regarding what national politicians will do
and whether their policies will be effective.
