In the future, I think today's models around central banking are going to look silly. Tech makes things cheaper year after year but the mandate of central banks is to gradually make things more expensive.

It all fell into place gradually piece by piece, but if you didn't have the concept today and just proposed it "as is", it would sound extremely silly.

The origin of the 2% rule is a New Zealand central banker promising to take action if inflation rose above 2%

It wasn't a target, it was a limit

But inflation is the whole purpose of the central bank
