What does the nomination of a new Federal Reserve chair signal about the future direction of U.S. monetary policy?

Professor Harvey uses the announcement as a lens to examine a deeper question inside central banking. He explains how prediction markets anticipated the decision, then draws a clear distinction between crisis intervention and ongoing economic fine-tuning. While aggressive Fed action can be appropriate in moments of stress, Cam argues that prolonged zero interest rates and large-scale quantitative easing outside crisis periods have created serious unintended consequences.

The conversation breaks down those consequences in concrete terms, including higher government debt, the survival of unproductive firms, reduced labor mobility, distorted investment decisions, and slower long-term growth. It also raises a governance question: when monetary policy begins shaping outcomes traditionally decided by elected officials, where should the line be drawn?
