	The Ben Bernanke Grand Experiment - MarketThoughts.com
		Bernanke then discusses the role of the Fed to act more preemptively and to be more of an activist Fed - by making sure that the U.S. economy does not fall into deflation.
		Bernanke then proposes on the possibility of explicit inflation targeting by the Fed - in the form of an announcement of a preferred long-run inflation rate - which he terms the "optimal long-run inflation rate," or OLIR for short.
		This is further evidence that Bernanke will not be hesitant about raising the Fed Funds rate to a level that is higher than is currently implied by the Fed Fund futures should he believes that inflation is still not well-contained come early next year.

		Bernanke then told the Chinese that the "single most important cause of the ongoing expansion in productivity" in China since 1978 was "a greater reliance on markets." In fact China has a huge state-owned sector and its single party interferes in markets more than any other large country's government in the world.
		Bernanke suggested the Chinese should give "greater autonomy to the central bank" in order to insulate it from "short-term political concerns." It's hard to imagine a big country where politics is less short-term than in China, and of course the one-party state and imperial tradition combine to produce that attitude.

	In Ben Bernanke we trust - Editorial - Opinion - theage.com.au
		In choosing Ben Bernanke to succeed the legendary Alan Greenspan as Fed chairman, Mr Bush has given the world's most important economic job to a man eminently qualified for it.
		The disturbing feature of Dr Bernanke's appointment is that he has tried to rationalise this away as having been caused by a glut of global savings, rather than as an outcome of inappropriate policies in the US itself.
		In the short term, the Bernanke appointment implies a continuation of the Fed's goal to lift interest rates until they are set at "neutral" levels, a term it has not defined.
