Let {yt,zt} be a bivariate jointly covariance stationary process with unconditional means of zero and consider the two-sided infinite least-squares projection of yt on past, present, and future z's: yt = ∞ . In the present context that would mean saying something like, "The Fed should freeze the monetary base; but that isn't all: Congress should then wind it up, while allowing other banks complete freedom to meet the public's monetary to be hardly more principled, though rather less prudent, for it calls, not for the avoidance of monetary central planning, but for the implementation of a monetary central plan that is likely, according to "our" theory, to be particularly lousy.
