I was going to say the opposite -- in my reading, the tone of the mainstream media narrative around central bank actions is always technocratic. Interest rate changes, we are told, are intended to heat or cool the economy just so, to reach an ideal balance of employment and inflation. Central bankers agonize over data and projections to reach a decision. Whether these interventions are in fact scientific, their past track record, who benefits from them, alternative viewpoints... none of that is discussed.
I have no particular viewpoint on what central banks should or shouldn't do, and I am no more impressed with Austrian or goldbug or crypto community ideologies about the topic. I just find the discussion unsatisfying. I don't believe that central bankers are brilliant economic engineers with deep insights into the ideal economy that can only be explained to us non-experts through crude temperature/thermostat metaphors. It all seems a bit cargo culty to me.
