內容簡介：
The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Central Bank, has taken extraordinary action in the past 5 years. Using the Brunner-Meltzer money-supply model, the Fed’s actions and their effects are explained. The Fed’s actions have created a situation that holds the potential for serious inflationary damage. How the Fed might avoid inflationary problems and the likely costs of doing this are discussed.
