Welcome to our new video series called "New Economic Thinking." The series will feature dozens of conversations with leading economists on the most important issues facing economics and the global economy today. This episode features William White, chairman of the Economic Development and Review Committee (EDRC) at the OECD in Paris. White explores whether central bankers are now being asked to do too much: whether in pursuit of elusive goal of financial stability, central bankers are risking the hard won gains of previous decades, and undermining their popular legitimacy in the process. Watch the interview to see what he has to say!
