I thank Dr. McQuinn for that. It outlines it really well for me. I understand the level of disruption the Ukraine situation brings to the debate. Leaving aside the level of disruption and uncertainty war brings, if we see a corresponding change in interest rates, does Dr. McQuinn believe that would negate that thesis or will it simply be a temporary effect and over time interest rates will continue to be low?
