Fed Up with the Fed

The economy peaked a few months later, and the Fed began aggressive easing in 2008. Although the Fed and the US Treasury cooperated in addressing financial market dysfunction, this was not enough to restore solid economic growth.

As more of us move into cities, more of us are eating meat, so that a third of the annual grain crop globally now gets fed to animals rather than to us human animals.

The Fed should simultaneously stimulate the economy and tame the financial markets. Good regulation means more than just preventing the banking sector from harming the rest of us (though the Fed didn t do a very good job of that before the crisis).

The Federal Reserve Act is explicit the Fed should achieve price stability for the US currency, along with moderate interest rates and maximum employment. As long as inflation is somewhere between zero and 2 , the Fed should declare victory and leave it at that.

Though the Fed acted as a kind of global central bank, its decisions were shaped, first and foremost, by US interests. For starters, the Fed rejected applications from some countries whose names are redacted in the published transcript to join the currency swap scheme.

For example, Tea Party activists, using a group called End the Fed, were among the first to focus critical attention on the unelected and unaccountable US Federal Reserve Board. Now legislation is being put forward to establish greater transparency at the Fed surely a laudable outcome.

Rather than playing with fire by proposing a Fed chairman who would aspire to become a dominant figure, perhaps the Obama administration should consider a term limit on the Fed chairman (say, eight years). Term limits improve governance in some other official US agencies and elsewhere.

Of course, a US recession will also bring further Fed interest rate cuts, which will exacerbate problems later. But inflation pressures will be even worse if the US recession remains mild and global growth remains solid.

The US economy is now on a favorable path of expansion. But keeping it there will be a major challenge for the Fed in the year ahead.

The Fed, of course, has absolved itself of any blame in setting up the US and the global economy for the Great Crisis. It was not monetary policy s fault, argued both former Fed Chairmen Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke if anything, they insisted, a lack of regulatory oversight was the culprit.

And it is difficult to deny that the Fed should take a close interest in the funding strategies of foreign banks operating in the US. Another Fed governor, Jeremy Stein, has pointed out that foreign banks have dollar liabilities of roughly 8 trillion, much of it short term wholesale funding.
