摘要

Credit and asset-price booms can leave an awful lot of wreckage behind them. The casualty list after America's housing crash includes: an overhang of unsold property; a huge fall in construction; the risk of weakening consumer spending as house prices fall; a trail of bankruptcies; big writedowns among the investment banks; and the unprecedented seizing-up of some financial markets on both sides of the Atlantic.rnYou might conclude from this that central banks would try to stop asset prices getting out of hand in the first place. But you would be wrong. Ask a central banker what his job is—on a day when he's not busy trying to save the financial system-and he will probably say he must "maintain price stability" or "control some measure of inflation". Decoded, that means he cares about the rate of increase in consumer prices, not the prices of houses, shares or other financial assets.
