“How did we get where we are? It’s because the limits of human ingenuity have proven unbounded, and things are going to be fine.” In the featured conversation of the 2024 Marshall Forum at the University of Chicago, Austan Goolsbee (President & CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago) joined Peter Orszag (Marshall Scholar 1991) and Katie Beirne Fallon (Marshall Scholar 1998) to discuss how economic and monetary policies by the Fed interact with market forces. ❗️All three guests were alumni of the Obama administration, working in various advisory roles in the White House. 🏦Goolsbee provided insight into Fed meetings and research, analyzed applications of the dual mandate to maximize employment and stabilize prices (and the two’s perhaps illusory relationship), and discussed the impacts of often self-fulfilling inflation expectations. 🗞️Orszag attributed the recent downward trajectory of inflation to pandemic supply-side issues resolving without necessarily requiring monetary policy intervention. He detailed how conventional media remains focused on domestic politics and demand-side aspects, fueling a rise in protectionist sentiments. ⚡The distinguished panel further addressed interest rates and inflation from multiple angles — including modes of energy production, concerns about the national debt burden on future generations, and optimism that these numbers will reflect future technological investments and gains in capital. Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/evd4uiAe The full 2024 Marshall Forum is available on the AMS Youtube.
