The Lords of Easy Money

The Lords of Easy Money tells the story of how the Federal Reserve's policies over the past decade have accelerated income inequality and put the country's economic stability at risk.

The book focuses on the story of Thomas Hoenig, a former Federal Reserve Bank president who dissented from the Fed's policy of keeping interest rates at zero and printing large amounts of money.

It explores the historical context, including the actions of Fed Chairmen Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell, and how these policies have distorted financial markets, created asset bubbles, and burdened middle-class Americans with debt.
