The United states through the 1980's and 1990's. Greenspan followed
rational expectations policies and lowered inflation without
increasing unemployment and the economy did quite well. A 10 year
expansion.

As far as I know the UK has never followed a fixed monetary policy
strategy. Only New Zealand can be verified as following fixed monetary
policies. Out of the 4 countries you list two are LDCs which have a
different set of policy prescriptions.
