The holy grail of monetary policy is the 'soft landing' - being able to bring down high inflation without causing a recession. Joseph Politano, author of the substack Apricitas, joins the podcast to discuss whether or not we'll see a soft landing in 2023. We talk about the Fed's history of trying to control inflation, the causes of inflation after the COVID economic shock, and break down exactly what is needed in order for a soft landing to be a possibility.
