Yes. Overly cheap money has negative externalities, that’s been the lesson of the post-9/11 financial order, and one of those is that overly cheap money causes fart.app to crowd out economically productive activity. A lot of things were done that shouldn’t have been done at all and fundamentally sucked up money that could have been used for actual productive stuff.
