About this episode

The episode discusses the influence of British economic practices on the Federal Reserve's recent decisions.

Four dissents (in two directions) is a straightforward Bank of England imitation (economics is always more convincing in a British accent). Fed Chair Powell pledged to remain in office as a governor.
