DTGreat video! Unfortunately there appears to be an issue with playing part 2.

JUGreat interview! A great thinker who will be missed. One of the big points he hammers home is that the Fed needs to find a way to deal with the excess reserves. If the Fed doesn't, he states the results will be inflation or a recession. I could see how inflation results - if the banks started lending the excess reserves, money supply increases - but how would the excess reserves cause a recession? Does anyone have any thoughts? I won't get a chance to ask the man directly...

MNPippa is such a good interviewer, I wonder if she just interviews without any preparatory thoughts on the direction of the interview.
-
HKThis would never show up on CNBC or Bloomberg because it makes too much sense. Thanks and may this good man rest in peace.
-
LVSo simple. Spot on. Legend indeed. Congratulations RVtv and Pippa.
-
JLThe first Fed official that makes both practical and academic sense. Poppa is a great interviewer.
-
MRwe'd be far better off if we could replace the clowns at the fed with this man.
-
MRThat was good. I love how he was not cut off and could just talk free
-
DOLegend.

AECharles & Jon, Wisdom is rarely valued in this day and age, and if it is, it seems to remain buried under a lot of hype...
-
JMThis interview should be aired on CNBC and Bloomberg so it can reach a broader audience. It cuts right through the fog.
-
CCWonderful interview. It's a shame that someone with such hard earned wisdom is not seriously listened to.
-
SJA gem. Prof. Meltzer embodies the old craft of keeping it simple. It's not rocket science. Perfectly directed by Pippa. Thank you both and look forward to more.
-
KDExtraordinary interview!
-
PMAllan Meltzer's new book on regulation isn't out yet. It's coming.
-
GBEB-Do you really want gov"t investing in biotech, etc.? That would be awful. Remember Solyndra? $$ will go to contributors not best companies.
-
SBVery genuine and frank comments. Perspective on small business and regulation spot on!
-
EBRichard Duncan has suggested that the Fed use the next QE to invest in biotech, energy, and nano-tech, etc.,instead of wasting more money on higher asset prices. Is this feasible?
-
DUExcellent. Old guys rule. Wisdom is meritorious.
-
KHWhat a great interview. I'd love to send it to Janet Yellen and get her comments. Wishful thinking, I know.
-
FRL sold my successful medical clinic because of over-regulation, an like banking, everything in medicine is moving to large institutions Writing prescriptions is now a terrible burden for physicians.
-
MAGreat interview. Amen on regulation. Look forward to part two.
-
PRAs the official historian of the FED I thought this was going to be a snow job on how wonderful they were. Not a bit of it, observant and highly critical, smart and thoughtful. I wish he ran the FED.
-
AG2. Regulations - always a response to major "accidents". Doing nothing an alternative? Zero street signs = Ayn Rand view. Thought that was put to rest after 2008 finl crisis. Glass/Steagall = bad?
-
AGGreat interview. However: 1. Boost investment via higher asset prices - isn't that exactly what Fed is trying? Aren't higher asset prices = inflation? Is it the Fed's fault only finl assets affected?
-
EBWhat is the name of the Professor's new book? You didn't say and I can't find it.
-
EBWILL the FED shift monetary policy to inflation targeting of prices? Rumors say their target is to increase prices by 4%.
-
TWThat is a stellar interview ! Well done Pippa
-
dpwhat a great interview. What a great economist. Like DH I was sitting listening and just wishing that I could show it to the Govt. Pippa is such a great interviewer. cant wait for part 2
-
DHGreat interview. Wonderful having Pippa as interviewer. I loved seeing the excitement rise at certain points. Wish I could show it to the govt in my country! I start to think wouldn't it be great IF..
-
MBWhat a tremendous interview. Great job Pippa! Waiting on Part II and hoping you asked him why interest rates have to rise why the Fed balance sheet must shrink.
-
PMFYI, we get to Gold, the Euro and more in part 2, which is coming soon.
-
PTPippa is a brilliant jewel whether she is the interviewer or interviewee.
-
CDWhat a great interview - I look forward to Part 2. It confirms what I thought in that the Fed believe their own hype and are now the new masters of the universe. It will not end well!!!
-
dbAgain the subject of gold is avoided much less the manipulation (of gold) by the FOMC. It would be nice to see real questions ask to insiders.
-
BBAbsolutely 100% pure brilliance. There is a Thomas Kuhn paradigm shift occurring at the highest level of economic and governing thought. This interview covers those issues in brilliant clarity.
