Centrale banken zoals de Fed in de V.S. of de Europese Centrale Bank (ECB) zijn sinds de kredietcrisis van 2007-2008 niet weg te slaan van de voorpagina’s van de kranten. Zij hebben in 2008 de wereldeconomie van een diepe depressie gered en zijn tot op de dag van vandaag de instellingen die de economieën en financiële markten overeind houden. Kortom, ze zijn zeer belangrijk. Ze zijn echter ook black boxes: heel weinig mensen weten wat die instellingen doen, waarom ze doen wat ze doen en hóe ze doen wat ze doen.
