Summary:

After fourteen years of almost uninterrupted inflation of the money supply and near-zero interest rates, the Federal Reserve is talking tough on a tight monetary policy. But don’t look for a repeat of 1979, says economist Thomas Eddlem. Price inflation and real interest rates matter. It may be more like 1979 than 2009.
