Debt Death Spirals, Fed's Losses, & Fiscal Theory Of Price Level | Peter Stella & Joseph Wang
Peter Stella, Former Head of the IMF Central Banking Division, joins Joseph Wang, former senior trader for the New York Fed and author at Fedguy.com, and Jack Farley for a wide-ranging discussion on:
-what really causes inflation
-monetarism, fiscal theory of the price level, and modern monetary theory (MMT)
-the unrealized losses on the Fed’s balance sheet
-why yield curve control likely won’t be necessary (or so Peter argues)
-the longer the duration of a governments’ debt, the less inflation is required to inflate it away
-when a central bank incurs unrealized losses, who “wins” and who “loses”?
