💡Course Introduction:

As the saying goes: “Money makes the world go round”, or does it actually mean interest rates? Shouldn’t interest rates always be zero? Shouldn’t quantitative easing last forever? The U.S. has extended its debt ceiling again and the Feds balance sheet has expanded again to rescue regional banks. Is this quantitative easing? Is quantitative easing actually printing money? What does any of this have to do with me? Why do American consumers continue to overspend, and why does the U.S. stock market never seem to fall? Are American spending habits really that bad? Or are we only seeing one side of the story? Have we been wrong about how modern monetary systems work? What is price stability in an overall sense? Follow us for a crash course in how interest rates are the lifeblood of the modern economy, and a hands-on discussion of how interest rates affect personal lives.
