The macroeconomic landscape and monetary policy. Bernie Fraser

Part 1 | Part 2

The past 30 years have seen a shift away from the post-war approach of governmental guidance and regulation of the economy towards an approach stressing more the primacy, efficiency and self-regulating character of markets. Most recently, the global financial crisis and the now near-universally accepted reality of climate change, have again raised fundamental questions about how best to govern a modern economy. At this symposium, Governing the Economy, organised by the Whitlam Institute and the University of Western Sydney, former Reserve Bank governor Bernie Fraser looks at the broader macroeconomic landscape today and the role of monetary policy in managing the economy. Sydney, December 2009
