‘People should be more aware’: the business dynasties who benefited from Nazis
5 days agoA new book has been released which looks at some companies which benefited from Nazi connections. TheGuardian profiles the book and the author: Colonial and Confederate statues toppled. Looted objects returned by contrite museums. Tainted family names such as Sackler expunged from buildings. A worldwide reckoning with the past crimes of great powers is under way. But is there a glaring omission? A new book, Nazi Billionaires, investigates how...

What economic model produces the Fed’s inflation forecast?
April 7, 2022John Cochrane's blog has always been a favorite of mine. It's provocative. It's entertaining. And it invariably leads me to reflect on a variety of notions I have floating around in my head. In his latest piece, he asks an interesting question: How does the Fed come up with its inflation forecast? What sort of model might be embedded in the minds of FOMC members? I like the question and the thought experiment. My comments below should not be...

Where are the customers’ rate increases?
26 days agoU.S. banks are at it again. Inflation is at its highest level in decades. At the same time, interest rates on deposits at the Fed, Treasury bills, bonds and mortgages are rising rapidly to compensate.
