Abstract: 
The Federal Reserve's quantitative easing is presented as injecting $600 billion into the economy. But instead of getting banks lending to Americans again - households and firms - the money is going abroad, through arbitrage interest-rate speculation, currency speculation, and capital flight. No wonder foreign economies are protesting, as their currencies are being pushed up.
