Financial Frameworks Podcast 14 Conversation with Dr. Philip Giles About Quantitative Easing and Fed Funds
This podcast continues our conversation with Dr. Philip Giles regarding the recent (last 20 years) actions by the Federal Reserve in dealing with financial crises and the current rise in inflation. This podcast focuses on quantitative easing and the tools, including Federal Funds interest rates, the Fed has been using between 2020 and early 2022 to avoid the economic pain created by the COVID pandemic. This podcast links the esoteric and often seemingly obscure actions by the Fed with listeners everyday thinking about interest rates and financial decisions. We work to link key concepts to routine financial decisions to build stronger, better financial habits.
The next, and final in this series, podcast will pick up the action with the Fed's current work as it has turned 180 degrees from supporting a fragile economy to now address high inflation, maintain a stable currency and attempt to avoid a crippling recession.
The concepts in this podcast are high level, but the thinking is basic and fundamental.
