Challenges of Managing Inflation and Interest Rates
This chapter explores the Federal Reserve's challenges in reducing high levels of inflation to reach the target of 2% and the implications on financial conditions and the economy.

The conversation also predicts a future trend towards 100% equity financing by financial intermediaries to reduce risk and examines the complexities the Fed faces in addressing inflation, real interest rates, and implementing monetary policy.
