Central bank propaganda from the central banker’s central bank

In a four-minute piece of video propaganda on what is supposedly their specialist subject, money, the Atlanta Federal Reserve gets at least five things wrong, explains Mish Shedlock, including:

  1. What money is
  2. Price stability
  3. Exponential math
  4. Who benefits from inflation
  5. That Federal Reserve policies are responsible for asset bubbles that grow increasingly larger over time

That's one hell of a lot of things to be wrong about [in just four minutes], especially for someone "big on getting our communications right."

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
