High Inflation, Or Bankrupt Banks?

In this video, I discuss how the Federal Reserve and other central banks must ultimately choose between allowing inflation to run hot, or attempting to control inflation and blowing up the banking system instead.

After signaling that they would keep monetary policy loose, the Fed raised rates at the fastest rate in 80 years and thus rendered large swathes of the US banking system insolvent. To add insult to injury for banks, the Fed has kept the yield curve highly inverted, which also blows up banks' basic business model of borrowing short and lending long.

If the Fed doesn't cut rates soon, banks will continue to blow up.

If the Fed does cut rates, inflation will continue to run hot.

That's the problem with being at the end of the long-term debt cycle-- there are no good choices left.
