The pivot by the econ establishment from “don’t be silly, growth is purely a private sector supply side phenomenon” to “only public investment can save us” is pretty remarkable. Very welcome, but remarkable. www.ft.com/content/d011...

Estimates suggest public investment yields a handsome growth dividend. Recent analysis by the UK Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) suggests a permanent increase of 1 per cent of GDP in public investment boosts the level of potential output by 0.5 per cent after five years and over 2 per cent after 10-15 years. A lasting 4 per cent of GDP per year investment boost could raise national income by 10 per cent in perpetuity.

When you accidentally mention inequality as a central banker (Janet Yellen, 2006).

Quote from a public speech: "Questions of income inequality, of course, are not part of the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate from Congress, which is to foster price stability and to promote maximum sustainable employment. Nonetheless, this has been an interest of mine for a long time, and not only as an academic."

When I reviewed Our Lives in Their Portfolios, I tried to highlight the extent of the conflicts of interest through the investments chain. Here's a good example with Hamilton Lane, who serve as an investment consultant to many large pension funds, also acting as a GP of infrastructure funds.
