Financial Repression: Part IV
Appointment of a new FED Chairman caused me to dig into what is known as Financial Repression. For another explanation of the term check out the following quote. “The term “financial repression” was coined in 1973 by Stanford economists Ronald McKinnon and Edward Shaw. They introduced the concept to describe government policies—such as interest rate […]
