Arthur Burns: shorthand for Fed failure?
View Date:2024-12-23 22:09:21
It's a big moment for Fed Chair Jerome Powell. His legacy likely rides on the extent to which he is able to tame the country's current high inflation but without causing deep economic pain.

On today's episode we revisit the challenges of the '70s Fed and Fed watcher Chris Hughes explains why he thinks history's been a little too hard on Arthur Burns.
