How should you fight inflation? (Spoiler alert: not with interest rate rises)
Joseph Stiglitz
US inflation is mainly supply-side driven so further rate hikes
will have little to no effect - and cause deep problems of their
own
'The Federal Reserve's monetary tightening has already
curtailed housing construction, even though more supply
is precisely what is needed to bring down a big
inflation driver: housing costs.'
