Stephen Miran, the Trump appointed Fed Governor may be good at many things, but he's not that good on money/central banking.
his latest speech on stablecoins is riddled with bad theory (loanable funds) and misunderstandings (stablecoins are not a savings instrument)

Bank of England has too much power over fiscal decisions:
Labour says bond markets matter when you're above zero interest rates, but wont say fiscal politics ALWAYS involve a fiscal trinity:
central bank - Treasury - bond market

Fiscal rules are a shambles:

UK privatises water, lets financiers turn it into an asset class, extract billions, pollute our rivers and now Labour government
may let them pollute for another 15 (!!!) years instead of nationalising Thames Water?

the author of this 'the market, the market' shill piece is, you'll never guess, the IMF architect of the 2018 IMF loan to Argentina, a 57bn shock therapy that went quickly offrails, as IMF programs do
