Scott Sumner on The Money Illusion

Published: Oct. 11, 2021, 4:30 a.m.

Scott Sumner is David\u2019s colleague and the Ralph G. Hawtrey Chair of Monetary Policy at the Mercatus Center. Scott is also a returning guest to the podcast and joins David on Macro Musings to discuss his new book, The Money Illusion: Market Monetarism, the Great Recession, and the Future of Monetary Policy. Specifically, David and Scott discuss common misconceptions about the 2008-09 Recession, why bubble narratives too often miss the mark when explaining rising asset prices, whether the Fed\u2019s adoption of average inflation targeting signals that it is moving toward a level target, and much more.
