Stuff that Fed Officials Say

About this episode

The episode explores the implications of the language used by Federal Reserve officials and what it reveals about their intentions.

Ryan McMaken, Jonathan Newman, and Joshua Mawhorter of the Mises Institute take a look at the politics of "fedspeak" and what officials at the Federal Reserve really mean when they say they're going to fix the Fed.
