It would require an exceptional political figure, and I struggle to put forward a name. I have my doubts about all the names in public discussion, writes Wolfgang Münchau Sun, 8 Nov 2009 19:41 GMThttp://traxfer.ft.com/cms/s/0/9f546382-c70b-11de-bb6f-00144feab49a.html?o=%2Frss%2Fcomment%2Fcolumnists%2Fwolfgangmunchauhttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9f546382-c70b-11de-bb6f-00144feab49a.htmlIf we stick to the zero interest rate policy for too long, we risk a degree of economic instability much more extreme and costly than the recent financial crisis, writes Wolfgang Münchau Sun, 1 Nov 2009 17:51 GMThttp://traxfer.ft.com/cms/s/0/a1853610-c196-11de-b86b-00144feab49a.html?o=%2Frss%2Fcomment%2Fcolumnists%2Fwolfgangmunchauhttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a1853610-c196-11de-b86b-00144feab49a.htmlI suspect we are in another bubble in the global equity, bonds and commodity markets. Central banks should be prepared to prick them before they cause calamity, writes Wolfgang Münchau Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:25 GMThttp://traxfer.ft.com/cms/s/0/b82d2b96-bc02-11de-9426-00144feab49a.html?o=%2Frss%2Fcomment%2Fcolumnists%2Fwolfgangmunchauhttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b82d2b96-bc02-11de-9426-00144feab49a.htmlWe should not see inflation and deflation as opposite scenarios, but as sequential ones. We could be in for extreme price instability, in both directions, as central banks lose control, says Wolfgang Münchau Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:42 BST
