Guild's Alarm At Steve Moore Makes His Case
By JOHN TAMNY, Special to the Sun | March 27, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/national/economists-alarm-at-steve-moore-make-his-case/90628/
In a 2008 speech then Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn informed his audience that "A model in the Phillips curve tradition remains at the core of how most academic researchers and policymakers -- including this one -- think about fluctuations in inflation." Translated, the entity (the Fed) that employs more economists than any other in the world is staffed near unanimously by economists who think too many people working and producing is the cause of inflation.

The Fed’s Future Is Political
Karl Smith, Bloomberg
Against Cain as Federal Reserve chief? Then oppose him now
Michael R. Strain | Bloomberg Opinion 
From the public reaction to Stephen Moore’s and Herman Cain’s potential nominations, it seems there are major concerns about whether Moore and Cain are sufficiently independent of partisan politics.

The Panic Over the Federal Reserve
Editorial of The New York Sun | April 7, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/the-panic-over-the-federal-reserve/90639/
It's hard to recall from the journalistic pack such a panic as has erupted over news that President Trump intends to name Stephen Moore and Herman Cain to board of the Federal Reserve. The New York Times warns the Fed could end up under the presidential "thumb." A "hideous specter," says the Washington Post. "Sabotage" cries the Financial Times. They all bewail the Fed's independence.

RAJAN TAKES ON THE SOURCE OF POPULISM & JOHN B TAYLOR ON AN IMPORTANT FORGOTTEN ECONOMIC INDICATOR

Truly Taking Back Control
by Raghuram Rajan via Project Syndicate  When people are more able to shape their own futures, they are less likely to be convinced that others are to blame for their plight. To the extent that it weakens support for virulent nationalism, devolution of global governance to national and local communities may make the world a little more prosperous – and a lot safer.
Saving The World From Misguided Populism: Raghuram Rajan Offers Some Prescriptions
with Raghuram Rajan via CNBCA common theme underlying political changes in the United States, Europe, Britain and in many Asian countries is the rise of populism. President Donald Trump, Brexit, Marine Le Pen in France, and the emphatic rise of Hindu nationalism in India all represent anger of displaced majorities.
This Important Fed Indicator Drives Monetary Policy - So What's It Saying?
with John B. Taylor via Speculators AnonymousI came across something today of which I believe is the most important thing for gauging monetary policy. And the mainstream financial media isn’t even talking about it (or worse – isn’t even aware). Because of this indicator – I actually believe the Fed may begin cutting rates sooner than many expect. So what am I talking about?
Putting Dynamism in Its Place
Oren Cass, National Affairs
The phrase "economic dynamism" has become so ubiquitous, its connotations so obviously desirable, that we accept uncritically the dressing up of policy debates in its terms. The standard narrative goes something like this: Disruption, a close cousin of dynamism, occurs when a new market entrant's superior offering or lower price allows it to displace an incumbent. Resources shift to this more productive use, and both workers and consumers reap the benefit. An economy featuring high levels of disruption is "dynamic," and with dynamism comes the innovation and economic growth that leads to rising material living standards for all. Read more here....
Raghuram Rajan On Minimum Income Schemes, Next Generation Reforms
with Raghuram Rajan via Business Today  Hoover Institution fellow Raghuram Rajan discusses the need to improve the capacity of the government, increase the economic growth potential, the need for next generation reforms, and the practicality of the minimum universal income.

Economic Policy and the Working Class: An Interview with Oren Cass
W. Bradford Wilcox, Institute for Family Studies

Tucker Carlson’s recent monologue on the “Market and the Family,” in which he argued that the contemporary economy has undercut the strength and stability of working-class families, has sparked a major debate among conservatives. Some conservatives—including David French and Ben Shapiro—have taken issue with his argument. IFS senior fellow W. Bradford Wilcox recently spoke to Oren Cass, a senior fellow at The Manhattan Institute and author of the new book, The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America, about this important debate. The following interview has been edited for clarity.​ Read more here....

What Drives High Health Care Costs: Friedman Fundamentals

with Milton Friedman via PolicyEdThe fundamental reason for high health care expenses is third-party payments. Most payments to physicians are made not by the patient but by a third-party — an insurance company or governmental body. By eliminating most third-party payments and restoring the role of insurance to protecting against major medical catastrophes, health care cost and spending can be reduced.

​The world thrives when individuals are able to pursue their interests without government interference.
The Appropriate Role Of Government
by Milton Friedman via PolicyEd  Milton Friedman, Hoover Institution Senior Research Fellow and Nobel Laureate, discusses how there are times when the government can become involved without infringing upon political freedom and autonomy. If two individuals enter into a business, most likely they will both benefit from it; however, there are cases in which a business can impose a cost on another individual without providing reparation. In this case, the government can become involved if markets are unable to compensate for the harm they’ve imposed.

Time to Replace the Fed’s ‘Floor System’
Peter Ireland, E21

Immediately following its January policy meeting, the Federal Reserve released a Statement Regarding Monetary Policy Implementation and Balance Sheet Normalization. The Statement, which Chair Jerome Powell also referred to in his latest Semiannual Report to Congress, confirms that the Fed will continue targeting interest rates using the new “floor system” first introduced in December 2015. Read more here....
Next: Trump's Promise on the Fed? 
Editorial of The New York Sun | March 24, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/next-trumps-promise-on-the-fed/90622/
President Trump's plan to nominate Stephen Moore to a governorship of the Federal Reserve could come to be seen to be as important as the justices he's named to the Supreme Court. We understand that it's not yet widely perceived that way. During the 2016 campaign, though, Mr. Trump made an issue of monetary policy, and this is the first substantive signal we've had that he might redeem that pledge.Continue Reading
