The beautiful thing about Jeanna Smialek's new book is that its core thesis has been tested and proven out in unbelievably prescient ways in just the 6 weeks since it came out.

Review⁠ it!!

It's a book for you Fed Watchers - and your parents! Seriously!

Fed communication has evolved a lot in the last few decades, and few people have been in better places to view it than Tony Fratto, Founding Partner at Hamilton Place Strategies and former WH Deputy Press Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury.

The Greenspan days, the global financial crisis, the Trump tweets, the pandemic, the trading scandal, and inflation - we cover a lot of ground!

Quarles interview with Rob Blackwell we mention in the episode

No one outside the Fed (and there have to be only like two or three within the Fed) have thought more about the Fed's emergency lending authorities than Steven Kelly. Today he's on the show for the ins and outs of these three angles:

- The DW & 13(3) covid-era data disclosures

- Does the Fed *have* to use SPVs? (thread)

- The case for prepping for an emergency commodities facility
