         摘要：Underlying questions are concerned: how well do we understand the impact of monetary policy on the real economy? How well do we understand the causes of inflation, and how it relates to monetary policy in an IT regime? The truth is, non-IT central banks have performed just as well as IT central banks in “controlling” the inflation rate; In other words, inflation-targeting countries do not perform necessarily better relative to non inflation-targeting countries. What does this mean? Two possibilities: IT is an irrelevant policy where inflation is attained by sheer luck; non-IT central are behaving like IT central banks. In this lecture, we brief discussion of current monetary thinking and the mainstream’s views on monetary policy and income distribution. Then, a discussion of a different approach, ‘the income distributive nature of monetary policy’: rate of interest as an income distributive variable; and focuses on the revenue side: income distributive rule; higher rates redistribute income to rentiers: the ‘revenge of the rentier’.
