A Riksbanken video gave me a good laugh, and a 350th birthday is cause for celebration and reflection. On today’s episode: (1) very briefly how did it start.  (2) its relationship with the Euro. (3) its policy goals. (4) and finally its role in the Nobel Prize of Economics. As always, I can be reached for comments, feedback, or questions on twitter or via my website www.thebanksterpodcast.com.
