AIER’s Bastiat Society program in Nashville hosted an event with Thomas Hogan, Senior Research Fellow at AIER.

Since the start of 2020, the Federal Reserve has increased the money supply by more than 30%. In April, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by an annualized rate of 4.2%. Is this a sign of major inflation to come? How will recent changes in Fed policy affect the economy? Join us as Thomas Hogan discusses the Fed’s recent actions and what they could mean for inflation and the economy.

The Bastiat Society of Nashville’s speaker series is co-sponsored by The Beacon Center of Tennessee and The Political Economy Research Institute at MTSU.
