EXAMINING THE FED'S STRUCTURE, HOW TO WRITE LIKE AN ECONOMIST & A LOOK AT MAO'S GREAT FAMINE AS AN ECONOMIST

8/28/2019

The Fed's Decentralized System And The Spread Of Economic Ideas
quoting Michael D. Bordo via Wall Street Window
When it comes to monetary policy, the popular commentary discusses the Federal Reserve System as a monolithic interest rate machine, raising and lowering rates to stabilize (or destabilize) the macroeconomy. More observant Fed watchers think of its big players, recognizing conflict among the voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). In that framing, monetary policy comes down to a battle between hawks and doves.

HOW THE FED COURTS DISASTER & JOHN TAYLOR LAYS OUT A NEW RADICAL APPROACH FOR THE FED

8/3/2019

The Fed Is Courting Disaster by Leaving Interest Rates Too Low
Nicole Gelinas, New York Post

This week, the Federal Reserve likely will vote to cut interest rates — when it should be raising them. If the economy is so dependent on low interest rates that a near-record-low rate of 2.4 percent isn’t low enough, there is something wrong with the economy, and piling on more cheap debt will make the crash that much harder. Since the financial crisis of more than a decade ago, America and the world have gotten dangerously addicted to debt. The Fed has fed the addiction. Read more here....

IRAN'S IRGC SEEKS TO OUTCOMPETE US SANCTIONS

8/3/2019

Iran's Resistance Needs A Light Touch, Not 'Maximum Pressure'
quoting Abbas Milani via Bloomberg
Trump could help the democracy movement while hurting the regime. Opposing the Iranian regime doesn't have to mean sanctioning its banks and oil.
Just ask Abbas Milani. The director of Stanford University’s Iran studies program cannot be called a squish when it comes to Iran; he has devoted much of his scholarship to the regime’s struggle against modernity and to understanding the country’s democracy movement.

US should sanction Iran's incendiary kingmaker
(The Hill) Meet Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, 92, who heads two powerful committees responsible for appointing Iran’s supreme leader, vetting candidates for key elected offices, and screening legislation passed by Iran’s parliament — all to ensure fidelity to the regime’s theocratic constitution and Islamist creed.
