This is not a normal business cycle; monetary policy will be a lot less effective in the future; investment returns will be very low.

Third, there are two levers that policy-makers can use to bring about these equilibriums: 1) monetary policy, and 2) fiscal policy. With monetary policy becoming relatively (8)_______productive, it’s important for these two to be co-ordinated. Yet the current state of political (9)_______fragmentation around the world makes effective co-(10)_______ compass hard to imagine.
