Is the Golden Age of central banking over?
The 25 years from 1982-2007 were a golden age for central banking.

The present crisis has brought this golden age to an end, at least temporarily, according to the latest CEPR/ICMB Geneva Report on the World Economy. The Report examines two key challenges facing central banks in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
