This book investigates the strategic motivations behind central bank communication and the subsequent impact of that rhetoric on macroeconomic outcomes. Nicole Baerg, a scholar in political economy, utilizes computational linguistics and quantitative analysis to examine how central bankers adjust their language to manage market expectations. The work argues that speech is not merely a reflection of policy but a deliberate instrument used to influence economic behavior and maintain institutional credibility.

Experts in political economy and central banking identify this text as a rigorous application of text-as-data methodology to monetary policy. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which serves as a specialized resource for researchers studying the intersection of communication and economic governance.
