"Man, you are surely travelling overfast," said he.
Two possible reasons are: (a) the Bretton-Woods system of fixed (adjustable) exchange rates put a brake on governments (overfast expansion tended to cause a loss of reserves, which made governments take restrictive measures and slow expansion).(13) (b) Controls over bank lending remained in operation in the UK until 1971 which must have limited the speed of expansion (see section 3 below, proposition 23).(14) In the world as a whole, which did not have the British system of financial controls but also avoided major recession) the fact that banks were less highly competitive then than later may have produced the same result: banks tended not to lend beyond what their usual customers chose to deposit, and only later began to go out into wholesale markets to borrow anonymous funds.
