Jason welcomes Christopher Leonard, a journalist and author, primarily focusing on his book, "The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy." The discussion centers on the Federal Reserve's policies since 2008, particularly quantitative easing and keeping interest rates at zero, and their impact on asset inflation, wealth inequality, and the real economy. Leonard also briefly touches upon his other books, "Kochland" (about the Koch brothers and corporate power) and "The Meat Racket" (about monopolies in the meat industry), highlighting his interest in powerful institutions and their influence on American society. The interview criticizes the Fed's approach under various chairs, including Greenspan and Bernanke, and explores the broader implications of concentrated corporate power and the need for structural economic change.
