Federal Reserve

Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

Tim’s take

He mostly plays straight man while guests lay out the case against it — that it deliberately drives the economy into recession to fight inflation 8:25 13:26, that it hands corporations like BlackRock borrowing rates ordinary people can't get 1:09:04, and that its balance-sheet expansions concentrated wealth at the top while savers got nothing 20:20 1:07:24. He signals agreement rather than arguing it himself, at one point invoking Patrice O'Neal's line that finding out it's a private bank changes how you see everything 5:45. Janet Yellen and the debt-default panic get the same treatment as comic relief around the same institutional distrust 10:08 50:20.
