future (say, for emergency defense needs, the green transition, or a presidential administration gone off the rails)? Austerity? Financial repression (forced holdings of debt at low interest rates)? Outright default? Mind you, there was inflation before the printing press; it was just much harder to do. When coins were made of precious metals

in its forecasts. Given that ballooning debt burdens are a likely future source of political pressures on central banks, especially if the era of ultra-low interest rates does not return, the Maastricht treaty restrictions, which for years many liberal economists have argued are vastly too restrictive, will likely help protect the independence

economies. That was helping to produce a large flow of funds from China to the United States. That inflow, in turn, was contributing to very low interest rates in the United States, not only for the government but also for households, as well as a massive run-up in equity and housing prices

destabilizing in their countries. They see Federal Reserve interest rate policy as helping propel a global financial cycle: foreign capital rushes in when investors see low interest rates and relative economic calm in the United States, but then races out even faster when interest rates and risk perceptions turn.5 And even worse

economy, which makes Wall Street like them even better. A second reason was that tech firms are best positioned to exploit a world of very low interest rates, which make very-long-term projects viable even if they don’t pay off for decades—for example, space exploration, self-driving vehicles, or artificial

much when the Fed has to raise interest rates to control inflation. There are also pressures from the rest of the economy. Most people love low interest rates. When financing costs are low, it is cheaper to buy a house or a car, or anything purchased on credit. And precisely because

to push up the price of stocks and housing, people feel wealthier, borrow more, and spend more. For a long time, Americans facing low interest rates have behaved as if savings was for suckers. Private-equity funds that took out massive loans to buy companies made spectacular profits, as did ordinary

his 2019 presidential address to the American Economic Association, Olivier Blanchard, a giant in academic macroeconomics research, went further to suggest that, thanks to ultra-low interest rates, higher debt can be financed through growth alone without necessarily ever having to raise taxes, not just in the United States but across advanced economies

now I am extremely grateful that someone put my prediction in the record. For years, faith in low interest rates consumed Washington. Not only did the United States borrow heavily to take advantage of near-historic low interest rates; the U.S. Treasury and the Fed doubled down by issuing relatively short-term debt, in essence

if the government just kept rolling over all principal and interest payments. Then again, there are countless instances when countries with strong growth rates and low interest rates suddenly ran into debt problems; real interest rates and growth rates are highly volatile. One also needs to ask whether hidden financial-repression taxes are

it. The past few decades of rising dollar dominance have created a false sense in U.S. political circles (and among many economists) that ultra-low interest rates are almost certainly the future norm. Their complacency is classic “This Time Is Different” thinking. History suggests that the ultra-low real interest rates that

managing their risk exposure. We will illustrate this principle with three practical examples. First, it is common in many countries for mortgages to have initially low interest rates that reset after a year or two to a much higher rate. The low initial rates are known as “teaser” rates because they attract the

and have substantial home equity. However, the growing availability of second mortgages, together with tempting opportunities to refinance and extract home equity in times of low interest rates (common worldwide in the first two decades of the twenty-first century), have reduced this form of saving.16 Some people may be reluctant to

investments when real interest rates are unstable. Bonds rise in value when interest rates decline, protecting the income they generate from the consequences of a low-interest-rate environment; similarly, as we saw in chapter 6, stocks rise in value when their long-run returns decline, again protecting investors’ income from the impact

of initial investment because insurance companies cannot earn high returns on the payments they receive from annuity purchasers. People may not understand the impact of low interest rates on the present value of a stream of income and may, especially at such times, wrongly perceive annuities to be exorbitantly expensive. In this situation

, it may be appropriate to require people to annuitize a fraction of their wealth upon retirement. To keep annuities affordable even in the face of low interest rates, initial payouts should be deferred for ten or twenty years after the date of annuity purchase. This is another example of the general principle that

money in target date funds until retirement. These funds hold long-term bonds that deliver capital gains when interest rates decline, buffering the impact of low interest rates on retirement income. Furthermore, Ruth would be encouraged to buy deferred-payout annuities at her or her spouse’s retirement date, and these annuities would

While they may have value as commitment devices to encourage saving for holiday gifts, they offer extremely poor returns. 22. See Anne Sibert, “The Icesave
