How Central Banks MANIPULATE Currencies & What Money IS NOT | Let People Prosper Ep. 54 w Dr. Judy Shelton

7/25/2023

 
In this episode, I discuss the following with Dr. Judy Shelton:
​
1) Why money is important, how it gets its value, what it really is and is not;
2) What the Fed did wrong during the pandemic, how it continues to mishandle interest rates, and why this approach will ultimately not abet inflation; and
3) Skyrocketing interest rates around the world, how central banks manipulate currencies, and much more.

​Check out one of her recent op-eds in The Wall Street Journal “The Fed’s Monetary Policy Tool Kit Needs an Overhaul.”
