----EPISODE #66TOPICS----
00:05 In the pre-2007 period an increase in money supply lead to an increase inflation but...
02:59 ...the post-2007 period displayed a break in the relationship (or did it?!)
04:57 Possible causes include: labor slack, banks not lending, and 'too credible' central banks
06:59 Another cause (perhaps likely?) is the Liquidity Trap.
08:16 If the Fed controls interest rates, then a liquidity trap explanation sounds legitimate
10:58 If the Fed controls interest rates, then raising rates will unwind a liquidity trap
14:39 In 2005 Greenspan testified to Congress that a fundamental monetary assumption had failed
17:57 The Fed identified market desire for safe, liquid instruments but got the "why" wrong
19:39 The St. Louis Fed paper was published in April 2014, just as the third crisis had begun
