DW NOTE
Carney ran the Bank of England through £895 billion in QE and now wants to run a sovereign wealth fund on borrowed money. A wealth fund is meant to invest surpluses you already have. Borrowing to invest is called a leveraged bet, and when governments do it at scale, the losses get socialised while the fees go to Bay Street.
