Until recently, Mr. Trump's penchant for appointing unqualified cronies to high office had not afflicted his picks for finance-regulatory posts. That changed last week with his choice of Stephen Moore for the Fed. The Senate must not approve this appointment.
The money supply’s rapidly outgrowing production in our economy will, under normal conditions, result in the currency’s losing value relative to the goods and services it can purchase – inflation. The money supply’s lagging behind productive growth, symmetrically, inhibits transaction activity and hence growth itself – bringing deflation, a.k.a. ‘recession’ or even ‘depression.’.
Facade on a sunny day at the Marriner S Eccles building of the United States Federal Reserve in Washington, DC, July 24, 2017.‘shadow banking’ plays a role rivaling that of banking itself in emitting the nation’s credit-money supply. Another reason the money-modulatory task is so fraught stems from the other side of that relation which is– the difficulty of tracking, and predicting, desired transaction volumes economy-wide.
In order to ensure that there is neither too much nor too little money ‘chasing’ to few or too many goods,, you have to formulate some expectation concerning how much and how little spending people are apt to be wanting to do – be it for purposes of consumption, investment, or anything else. This of course requires immense data-collecting and –parsing capacity. It requires, in other words, technical expertise.
It also requires a certain dispassionate attitude and capacity for clear-headed analysis – an empirical and scientific turn of mind that’s not clouded by personal partisanship, let alone hackery. Fed folk are rather like judges and umpires in this respect. They’re not meant to ‘take sides,’ but to be ‘above the political fray.’, all of them staggered so as to assure only gradual turnover of personnel. The idea is to retain both institutional memory and freedom from political pressure.
