The Imaginary World of Fed “Independence”
By Jonathan Newman Mises.org August 17, 2026
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently took to X to celebrate what he called one of the “highlights of the Warsh Fed.” His post didn’t have anything to do with what kind of monetary policy a Warsh-chaired Fed will do.
