The interest rate is officially ~zero and effectively negative due to consistent QE (over $120,000,000,000 printed and given to banks every month).

Yet the Fed is extremely hesitant to taper its QE policy, because that will detonate the domestic stock market. It is not an exaggeration to suggest we are literally in the final years/months of the neoliberal economic order.
