Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh: I Believe Price Stability Should Be a Change in Prices Such That No One’s Talking About It

‘Get politics out of it so that the Fed can focus on its day job, deliver on full employment, stable prices’

EXCERPT:

WARSH: “My preferred definition of stable prices is a little different than most academics. I believe that price stability should be a change in prices such that no one's talking about it. That's an old-fashioned definition, but I think it's still valid. The sooner that we can reform the institution with my colleagues if confirmed, the sooner we can ensure price stability and we can have a new set of leaders atop the institution with high, credible, ethical standards to return the Fed to what it should be.”
