I’m not sure why I would need to go that far afield when I can just deal with the actual words spoken by actual economists where they literally say this with slighty obscurant language. This isn’t a “shadowy cabal,” its mainstream media and economics here.
If the actual intent of economic policy is so threatening to your worldview that you need to poison the well by invoking shadowy conspiracies, perhaps you should re-evaluate your own perspective on the issue.
> I'm just going to call you a conspiracy theorist because it's probably not worth arguing with you, and "the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."
Yeah it would probably require an infinite amount of energy to refute my assertions, since they are actually true. And I think we are beyond considering the existence of the central bank to be a “conspiracy theory”, it’s kind of established.
