93. Fed Deep Dive, Part 4: The Price of a Political Fed and the Volcker Wake-Up Call

This is the era where the Fed found its backbone...and yeah, it was messy. We start with how the Fed pegged interest rates during World War II to keep government borrowing cheap, which meant it couldn’t raise rates, even as inflation hit 20% in 1947. Yeah… not ideal. That moment of tension led to the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accord, where the Fed basically said, “We need boundaries.” And just like that, monetary policy and politics went on a much-needed break. But the real story relevant to today? T...

92. Fed Deep Dive, Part 3: The Fed’s Origin Story—from Reaction to Responsibility

Before the Fed existed, J.P. Morgan literally had to bail out the banking system. That’s when the U.S. realized depending on wealthy individuals to prevent financial collapse wasn’t sustainable—and the Federal Reserve was born. In this episode, I (Jessie!) try to wrap my head around how the Fed went from an emergency backstop in 1913 to one of the most powerful institutions in the world. Jess helps me trace the Fed’s messy glow-up: from freezing during the Great Depression to gaining real too...
