Iran's leaders seem to have contracted a case of economic idiocy. The news comes during a period of fast-deteriorating diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington, which makes the currency denomination change look like a way for the Iranian leadership to snub the U.S. Iran's announcement seems as ridiculous as that of Venezuela's socialist leader Nicolas Maduro.

While there are many complementary explanations, the most heated arguments center on the role of monetary policy. Careful analysis suggests John Williams, the incoming president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, may agree with those who blame excessively low interest rates for the boom and bust. In response to the triple shocks of the tech bust, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and the wave of corporate defaults in the early 2000s, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and the majority of his colleagues pushed the policy interest rate down to 1%.
What happened to the synchronized global upswing? In just a few short (but memorable) months, the economic outlook has soured. Is this the end of the expansion, or typical late-cycle behavior?
