At Rachel Reeves's first job after university, her boss dropped on to her desk at the Bank of England a textbook on something called quantitative easing in Japan. Interest rates had reached zero and the Japanese government had resorted to printing money to end a 10-year recession. There was puzzlement at the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street.
