Tools to Cool an Overheated Economy Sep 11, 2018

Show notes

Traditionally, central bankers have used higher interest rates as a tool to cool an economy when it becomes overheated. They're trying to engineer the so-called soft landing and prevent the deep recessions that are reactions to oversupply. But these are not the only tools at their disposal.

The US Federal Reserve met in Jackson Hole Wyoming last week. At that meeting Fed chairman Powell said that they were going to keep rates low as long as possible.
