Wealth Inequality and Federal Reserve Policies

The speaker argues that the Federal Reserve has significantly contributed to the increasing wealth inequality in the United States. This is mainly due to the Fed's policies allowing for excessive money supply growth without sufficient checks on spending. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved substantial monetary stimulus that has not been fully aligned with economic recovery, leading to inflationary pressures.
