Dropping Money From Helicopters: Economist John Cochrane On Inflation

 

John Cochrane is the Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution and the author of a new book, The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level. In this wide-ranging conversation, Cochrane discusses the root causes of inflation, what we can (and can’t) do about it, the economists who influenced his thinking, and how his father inspired him to become an academic.

    Seems as though dropping other things from helicopters could help inflation. 

    First they came for the socialists. Then they stopped coming for people because the problem was solved.

    Another great interview.  I would love an interview by all of the Hoover Institute’s “Goodfellows.”
