Let's be brutally honest: Monetary Policy is usually taught terribly in textbooks. You don't need to be a genius to master this; you just need to understand one specific mental model.
Did you make this error?
- The Trap: thinking the Fed prints money to lower interest rates
- The Proof: Read this scenario: The Fed lowers interest rates primarily by buying government bonds, which injects liquidity into the banking system.
If your logic doesn't match the proof above, you've fallen for the trap. Erase it and start over.
