“A lot of national economies are still on performance-enhancing drugs. It will be interesting to see what happens when the dope gets taken away.”

Interesting question - what will happen? I suspect that the performance-enhancing drugs have had very little effect on economic growth. However, this substance abuse is starting to have some very powerful and increasingly nasty effects on price stability.
We got rid of the dope last may. Alas we seem to have sent in the clowns instead.
