Alternative Visions- Fed’s Rate Pause and the Growing Contradictions of US Monetary Policy
What’s behind the Fed’s decision to temporarily halt rate hikes this past week? Then raise rates later again this year? Dr. Rasmus explains the Fed is more concerned in the short run with exacerbating the continuing regional banking crisis than intensifying efforts to slow inflation by raising rates. Fed policy faces a contradiction: raise rates and worsen banking system instability (which the Fed has been offsetting with weekly injections of $95B to stabilize since March), or, not raise interest rates for a while and live with inflation. Rasmus dissects the latest CPI report that shows continuing services sector inflation of 6.3%-6.6%, even as goods inflation has moderated and energy inflation fallen significantly from last year’s highs. Rasmus explains how and why monetary policy faces growing contradictions and is becoming increasingly ‘inefficient’ (i.e. high rates don’t reduce inflation as effectively as in times past, while lowering rates to zero have less effect on stimulating the economy as well. The causes are late neoliberal capitalism’s globalization and financialization. How and why fiscal policy is also facing growing contradictions and why US global economic hegemony is weakening as de-dollarization trends also appear to be gaining momentum.
