In 1991, Richard warned of a banking crisis and major slump in Japan. In 1994, he coined the concept of ‘quantitative easing’. His book ‘Princes of the Yen’ (2001), on the role of central banks in financial crises, was a No. 1 bestseller in Japan. In his book ‘New Paradigm in Macroeconomics’, Palgrave Macmillan (2005), he warned about the dangers of the ‘recurring banking crises’, including the looming financial collapse in the UK, and detailed needed policy responses.
