Close of the PhD Standard: Something New Under the Sun. Discretionary monetary management by former tenured economics faculty has turned the financial world upside-down. Negative nominal yields, QE and incessant policy chatter are only some of the hallmarks of the new regime. What might it take to turn things right-side up?
