Debate on NGDP targeting endures in economic circles, George Selgin says
NGDP targeting faces continuing resistance

George Selgin questioned the economics profession resistance and lack of understanding toward NGDP targeting.

He suggested this stance could become one of the more puzzling aspects in 20th-century economic thought. Selgin referenced the continued debate within economic circles, engaging with a colleague and an industry expert on the topic.

Selgin’s ongoing scrutiny of central bank policy recalls his earlier examination of the risks inherent in the Federal Reserve’s QE approach and the potential for backdoor funding mechanisms. His perspective further aligns with prior critiques of the Fed’s institutional framework, where comparisons with the Canadian system’s ability to deliver stable, elastic currency highlighted alternative approaches to monetary reform.
