The Impact of Federal Reserve Bond Purchases on Interest Rates
This chapter explores the potential effects of the Federal Reserve buying bonds to fund deficits on interest rates. It discusses the possibility of rates decreasing or not increasing if the Fed continues to purchase bonds, and raises questions about who would buy the bonds if the Fed stops. The chapter also delves into the relationship between public sector deficits, private sector surpluses, and the likelihood of a recession.
