ghostly photograph of British economist John Maynard Keynes before 1913“Raising interest rates is not going to solve the problem of inflation. It’s not going to create more food. It’s going to make it more difficult because you aren’t going be able to make the investments.” – Joseph Stiglitz, Columbia University
