Bernankeism is a form of voodoo economics. It assumes that the economy is
constantly suffering demand deficiencies, in relation to supplies of basic
products such as oil and food commodities, and that the remedy is sheer "money
helicoptering". This is different from the thinking of John Maynard Keynes, who
called for infrastructure spending to stimulate the economy and discarded money
injection into banks that can create a liquidity trap, or monetizing record
fiscal deficits on current expenditure that cannot be rolled back later for
political reasons. -
Bernanke has constantly denied any link between monetary policy and commodity
prices, even though all money injection was going straight to speculation in
stocks and commodities. - 1 more annotations...

Nixon’s New Economic Plan | The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty

Nothing illustrates Nixon’s political opportunism better than his imposition of mandatory controls over wages, prices, and rents. The President, who had served as a low-level functionary in the Office of Price Administration during World War II, had often expressed an aversion to price controls, which, he declared during the campaign of 1968, “can never be administered equitably and are not compatible with a free economy.” Yet, as James Reichley has observed, Nixon was “not prepared to take extreme political risks for the sake of economic dogmas.”
-
Late in 1970 the appointment of the flamboyant John Connally as secretary of the treasury and his subsequent designation as the administration’s chief economic spokesman tipped the balance toward more controls. Connally had few economic scruples; he specialized in dramatic political gestures, favoring, in Nixon’s football metaphor, the “big play.” He supported the imposition of controls because he thought it would appeal to the public as a sweeping, take-charge action by the President.

"We like to say we can make electricity with something as simple as a rubber band," said Roy Kornbluh, principal research engineer for SRI International. The technology, he adds, avoids the more costly and error-prone wave systems that rely on pumps to push air, water or oil to generate power.
