Summary of Discussion
This chapter summarizes and gathers together insights that come from the previous chapters. It first discusses an insight about how the government was responsible for the financial crisis and the importance of a predictable monetary policy. The private sector had some responsibility according to this theory, which also postulates that regulatory failure among bank supervisors was perhaps not at fault. Instead, the FOMC level’s failure in fundamental economic analysis is blamed. The chapter then summarizes the responses those insights, such as the idea that the predictability of monetary policy is open to interpretation. The chapter then submerges into the debates and arguments for the causes of the financial crisis, going through the points of each of the previous chapters. It ends an assertion that the government sector holds more responsibility for the crisis than the private sector, and that the government seems to have not learned from the financial crisis.
