How the Federal Reserve Works: After the Great Recession 

Wow. What a great video! Thank you so much. Very clear, simple explanation, of something i previously found extremely difficult.

What a cool video series, thank you. What would be great is to have a video that reflects the monetary environment we are in after rising interest rates!

very clear and helpful !!!

Increasingly, economics seems quite tragic to me. We deal with issues as they present themselves, develop specific instruments for specific problems, while not fully understanding the origin of these problems nor the exact effect of our instruments-let alone institutions. Problems are transformed and passed along in silence until the dam no longer holds and we have a crisis on our hands. And yet there is nothing to do but what we do.

This video makes so much sense

Thank you! Great videos!

Thank you,sir.

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this informative content cheers Frank 😊

Nice video.

Would be good to have a video on the current fed action

This is nice

Can you guys do a video on the permanent income model

Great video! You are laying the foundation for tommorow's hedge fund billionaires

Videos are good sir.. please go slow on explaining

I am trying to learn but find it quite complex and confusing. Can anyone guide me what are the prerequisites of the video?

It seems that the Fed has made a hash out of the age old "fractional" vs "full" reserve banking dichotomy--in a fractional system the banks themselves have decided to hold reserves capable of backing their liabilities in full.

Aren't OMOs conducted to control the money supply? Why would they be used for other purposes? If banks now get interest on their reserves, where does that money come from? Does the Fed just create it? Does that cause inflation? It seems modern day money creation is based on debt; would it be possible to create money without debt?

I know I'm late but what's the difference between demand deposits and excess reserves.

How are lower interest rates not the result of QE?

I like avocados.

This is pretty horrifying to be honest. It seems like a vast amount of centralized power continually tinkering with an auto regulated system of billions of people and slapping more complex bandaids on increasingly complex wounds.

"Low interest rates lead to low mortgage interest rates?". Calling QE a swap? Calling a Fed repo a swap? Explaining just one half of a repo and not the 'repurchase' part? This is a pretty bad video by MRU standards.

What I don't get is why we would ever need to decrease the economy. I thought the goal was always to expand so why is there reverse repurchase agreements?

How does this work in europe ?

This video told nothing but the truth but the info is completely slanted to suggest that everything done was a good thing instead of delaying a much bigger crash.

By the way problem is deeper than FED itself. Consumerism can't continue for ever.

AHAHAHAHAHAH money printer go BRRRRRRR

Please share this cow, for no particular reason.

Bitcoin!

This video doesn't explain anything. How does buying mortgage bonds reduce interest rates?

The Fed sets asset prices, not the market. Since 1980s, the Fed has lowered interest rates and since 2008 the Fed has done QE to reward the asset owner class by raising asset prices. *These artificially low interest rates and QE have caused the year/generation you were born in to determine whether you are able to own a home and generate wealth* . The older generations bought homes for 1-2 times median income and bought stocks at 8 times PE ratios in the 1980s because asset prices were low because Volker set interest rates high. Then these people road the Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen and Powell puts and became rich as their homes and stock portfolios increased +10% a year. *They became rich because they were simply born at the right time* . But the asset non-owner underclass (millenials and poor boomers who didn't accumulate assets in 1980s) deal with housing at 8-10 times median income (because wages didn't increase since 1980s), a bubble stock market that only went up because of QE and low interest rates. It is a shame that 99% of people have no idea that monetary policy and not fiscal policy deserves most of the blame. Eventually the asset non-owner underclass will revolt by electing an MMT president, who will inflate away the asset bubbles and make housing affordable again (and cause a depression in the process). Please spread the word so people can understand this and we can have a change in monetary policy. This is not a left vs. right thing, it affects all of us.

No wonder inflation is so high now.

They'll be adding cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets next lol
