Top-level decision failure

The entire shift from rice to mulberry was such that the cabinet was merely a figurehead; everything was decided solely by Emperor Jiajing.

• The decision was rushed (or hasty).
• The methods were intense (or aggressive).
• The effects were extreme.
• The outcome was incomplete (or a failure/poorly executed).

Therefore, when we make decisions, we must take this into account. We cannot assume that the intentions of those above will necessarily be realized. Nothing is omnipotent; there are always difficulties. There is no omnipotent god, and the central bank is no exception.
