We will be live with Jonathan Levin to discuss the lessons from the Year of Descending Dangerously project at 12 noon New York time later today (March 27). In case you missed it, Richard and I, and a cast of Bloomberg’s brilliant data visualization experts, made our best attempt to illustrate how central banks responded to the pandemic with inflation, and how their coordination on lowering the rates they’d then had to hike is now breaking down. In the financial world, it’s probably the single most important topic facing us all at present.
