The “free lunch” article is fantastic.
imho it was a nicely written but without a valid point; it falsely advanced a misunderstanding that the primary purpose of the Fed is a growing economy. It isn't. The Fed exists to stabilize the dollar's prices. Sure, an economy grows better with stable prices but economic production comes from producers. There is a big difference between money and wealth --and the Fed knows full well that it can create the first and not the second.
