Thank you.
But neither the first nor the second most famous economist of all time.
Just ranked among the neo-monitorists.
Look, the challenge with monetarism is that it is two things.
It is a pretty rigorous theory.
It is also probably the way your uncle thinks about money.
The easiest way to think about it is the amount of money in the economy and the speed at which it moves from hand to hand, the speed at which it gets spent together have an effect on inflation.
So when you have more money.
In the economy, moving quicker from hand to hand and the same amount of goods, the price of those goods are going to go up.
So that intuitively makes a lot of sense.
Well, Kevin Warsh, the new chairman of the Fed, has announced the makeup of a couple of different task forces that are going to change Fed policy.
Usually when somebody in government announces a task force, that's a sure sign that nothing is going to happen.
But I think...
I actually think in this case, something will happen.
There were a couple of rethinks under Powell.
They tended to have the Fed thinking, well, you know what, we're doing a pretty good job, so we're not going to change much.
Warsh has been a critic of how the Fed measures things, how the Fed talks, how the Fed uses its tools.
And, you know, the people who he appointed to these task forces are serious people.
So this has opened the door to a change.
And as we both know, when a door is actually open, everybody who's ever had an idea is going to sprint as quickly as possible in the direction of that door before it closes.
