Why Central Bankers are FORCED to Lie

from Eurodollar University · host Jeff Snider

What's misinformation about the economy? It's a well-known fact policymakers and Economists outright lie about any situation. But why? They say it's for your own good. The lies are beginning to pile up so much that officials now have to lie about their lies, including the very theory behind all of this especially when some of the theoreticians who came up with it no longer want to be the very purveyors of misinformation. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisGeorge DeMartino Should Economists Deceive?
