Danielle DiMartino Booth is the CEO and chief strategist of Quill Intelligence. Before that, after correctly predicting the mortgage meltdown, she spent nine years as an adviser to Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard W. Fisher throughout the financial crisis until his retirement in March 2015. That experience led her to write “Fed Up: An Insider’s Take on Why the Federal Reserve Is Bad for America.”

In this episode, Danielle and NLW discuss:

How the Fed went from simply corrupt to corrupt and broken
Why we’ve been living through the largest experiment in monetary policy history
Why interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in 5,000 years
Why COVID-19 was the pin, not the balloon
Why current Fed action compromises the Fed’s independence
Why the market structure incentivizes consumption and risk investment over savings
Why risk investments have ceased to be risky because of Fed backstopping
Why a key concern is a second wave of COVID-19 layoffs in industries beyond those already impacted
