No.

Interest rates should be 3% above inflation.

And the Inflation Target should be Zer0.

“And the Inflation Target should be Zer0.”

Never happen, that’s crazy. That’s a recipe for a no-growth economy in recession more than not.

The target rate will always be at least 2%.

In a debt-based monetary system, going to zero runs a very real risk of a deflationary cycle, which can sometimes feed on itself.
