I do laps at my gym’s pool on a regular basis, it’s tony, the facilities beautiful. The water is not too chlorinated, just enough to know that when I pee in that pool, I won’t feel guilty about it. But today at my natatorium there is a difference, a difference that interrupts my epic meditation on intangibility and not-drowning. In the lane next to me there swims a man who looks exactly like Ben Bernanke. He could be his doppelganger.

As described in “Quarterly ...

This was a very positive yield curve in 1936. Based on the formula used in the link you provided, this ... Read More

What do we want a central bank to do? The initial mandate given to the Fed, in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, was to "furnish an elastic currency." What the framers of the Act appeared to have had in mind was intervention by the central bank to smooth the effects of predictable seasonal fluctuations in the demand for currency, and to prevent the banking panic episodes that had occurred during the National Banking era after the Civil War. Intervention was to occur primarily by use of the discount window - there did not appear to be a good understanding of open market operations and their effects in 1913. After World ...

A startling whisper has been reverberating around Washington and in the main stream press: Might President Obama slay the beast of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac once and for all? Such a move would fundamentally change both the way Wall Street operates and the way Americans think about life. The Obama administration appears to be suggesting -- very subtly -- that homeownership isn't a God-given right. That the American dream has morphed into an American entitlement. That millions of people who should not have been homeowners in the first place ended up paralyzed by unsustainable debt as a result. And that, finally, to repair ...
