Fed Needs to Stop Fighting ‘Last Year’s War’

William Lee and Brian Jacobsen preview the Fed meeting this week. William compares the current scenario to Greenspan’s Fed Chair tenure, with productivity creating a buffer to inflation. He wants the Fed not to “fight last year’s war” and discusses the political pressure on their decision-making. Brian thinks the Fed should focus more on labor, as productivity gains often translate to profit margins rather than higher wages. They cover the potential nominees for Fed Chair and what their tenure might be like.
