Additionally, there is the problem of contagion – across markets, across institutions and across countries. Each day, there is news of the crisis spreading to a new

Innovation and Growth: Role of the Financial Sector
‘Accelerating productivity growth entails a matching acceleration in the potential output of goods and services and a corresponding rise in the real incomes available to purchase the new output. The problem is that the pickup in productivity tends to create even greater increases in aggregate demand than potential aggregate supply’—Alan Greenspan‘Whatever the supply side may have in store, delivering low and stable inflation—and being expected to do so—is how monetary
