21st Century Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve from the Great Inflation to COVID-19

Summary & Key Takeaways

Do you feel like your business is a passenger on a ship steered by invisible forces? In this briefing, we unpack 21st Century Monetary Policy by former Fed Chair Ben S. Bernanke to reveal the strings behind the economic chaos.

The old playbook has failed. We explain the paradigm shift from simply fighting inflation to fighting stagnation, and how the Fed evolved from a passive referee to an active manager of market psychology. Learn why the “Zero Lower Bound” changed the rules of the game and how tools like Quantitative Easing are used to manufacture confidence.
