In this episode I take your through the recent transition from the Charles Dickens Economy to the Mark Twain version where the lags in monetary policy are making rumors of economic demise which “seem to have been grossly exaggerated.” Then we’ll travel back to 1905 and watch an avid warmonger promote peace, learning valuable lessons for the life and legacy of Theodore Roosevelt. And we’ll wrap with the mail bag and an impersonation of actor Christopher Walken reading the Fed’s press release form last week. Hilarity ensues.
