| Now I Understand Monetary Policy Minnesota Public Radio's Marketplace has finding a sitter, a report on why you need a monetary policy expert to run a babysitting coop. It was very illuminating. The article mentions a 1978 economics paper titled "Monetary Policy and the Great Capitol Hill Babysitting Crisis" Basically, there weren't enough coupons in the system to allow people to feel comfortable spending what they had, so no one went out. The parents in the group who were lawyers decided they needed a rule that required everyone to go out at least once every six months. That didn't work, so the economists in the group started tinkering with monetary policy.... 6:34:12 AM comment []
