Zero rates have allowed big fat banks to sit on their big fat buttocks and earn 2-3%

''Let me tell you what zero rates (ZIRP) and QE have done so far in terms of energising the flow of credit, and generally aiding a broad socio-economic recovery. Zilch. Now let me explain what these strategies have done for some elements of our 'risk' capitalist system - which in terms of wealth generation, by the way, can still knock agrarianism and communism into cocked hats....when it's not being stitched up for the benefit of around 0.6% of the global population.''
