Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: I know that you believe central bank should normally be independent f rom the government, rather than a government department. Why is this?M: Well, the main reason is what we call, in economics, the political business cycle. If the central bank mainly acts as a branch of government, then this government is inclined to increase abruptly, f or instance, money supply just bef ore elections in order to f avour employment, but, of course, this has a negative eff ect on inf lation.W: And this happens in America, in Germany?M: Mainly in Germany. The two most independent central banks we can think of are really Switzerland and Germ any.W: Not the Fed, the Federal Reserve?M: The Fed, yes, but the Fed is sligh tly less independent, in the sense that, f or instance, it doesn‟t have a goal of price stability as clearly stated as the Ger man or the Swiss central banks, f or instance.W: And examples of central banks which are inf luenced by the government?M: Well, t here‟s Britain, f or instance. France is being slowly privatized — well, made independent. Italy, contrary to what most people think, is a quite independent central bank. It‟s one of the most eff icient public bodies, I would say.W: But you think the independent bank is a model f or the f uture?M: Y es, I would argue it is. Actually I‟m working presently on something that tends to show that the independence should actu ally be adapted to the economic conditions in the country and outside the country, but yes, generally a more independent central bank is certainly more, well, certainly more desirable than a non-independent central bank.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why should central banks be independent from the government, according to the man?【解析】选[C]。
