Helicopter Money. In former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke’s now-famous 2002 speech, he observed that deflation was impossible because modern central banks can create unlimited amounts of currency and, if necessary, drop it from helicopters.
“They’ve tried everything he mentioned in that speech — except the helicopter drop,” says Shepherd. “In practice, this would be a coordination between monetary and fiscal policy of the major countries.
