DW NOTE
The Fed spent a century propping up price levels in the name of stability and delivered the opposite — serial bubbles, systematic misallocation, and a political class addicted to monetary accommodation. Fisher called the top in 1929 predicting permanent prosperity; Keynes wanted inflation to euthanise the rentier. Both got their wish: depressions papered over with freshly printed claim-checks on wealth that never materialised.
