Burns does now seem to be trying to nudge interest rates up a bit; among other things, he intends to dole out money more slowly. His new target is money-supply growth of 4½% to 7% a year, down from the 5% to 7½% he had been aiming at for the past twelve months. But the rise in loan charges does promise to be gentle, and for the foreseeable...
