This publication, part of AGI’s 30th anniversary Symposium, focuses on the increasingly public role central banks play in the twenty-first century. It asks important questions, including: Do central banks have a role in spurring growth? How dangerous are the experiments being undertaken by central banks of all major advanced economies? What choices do central bankers have in the present economic and political environment? How long will advanced economies depend on unconventional monetary policies?
