Description

In this episode of On Wealth and Progress, Todd Sheets dives into the Federal Reserve’s real impact on our economy. Are we asking the wrong questions about the Fed?

We explore:
 ✔ Why the Fed focuses on short-term rates and why that matters for you
 ✔ The long history of Fed mistakes, from the Great Depression to recent inflation
 ✔ What the Fed can and can’t do to control long-term rates

If you’ve wondered why a handful of people control the price of money for 340 million Americans or what a free-market approach could look like—this episode is for you.
