Chief Economist: Quantitative Easing a Ticking 'Time Bomb'

 

Yale University senior fellow and former Morgan Stanley chairman Stephen Roach says that "zero interest rates and quantitative easing are the time bomb that's really ticking... that worries me a lot."

Mr. Roach made his comments last week at a panel discussion for the Rand Corporation's Politics Aside conference in Santa Monica, California.

"The monetary policy and mistakes that were made beginning with Alan Greenspan and continuing with Ben Bernanke played a critical role in setting us up for this monster crisis," he explained. 

Mr. Roach said President Barack Obama should not have "ignored" the recommendations from the Simpson-Bowles Commission, which Roach says offered a "a formula that can get us out of the quagmire we're in on the fiscal side."
