A great one to read after that is "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays.

Another classic. The writing is very clear and concise. Some of the things he says are so wild that it's best to read it first hand. I think you'll know when you see it 😅

LMK if you give it a shot!

Update: Fed still buying $120B per month

(Over $1 trillion since December)

Surely no bank is selling them garbage mortgage-backed securities. Approving mortgages for massively overpriced homes and cashing out before anyone defaults? They would never!
🎯 Target 🎯
Push consumer price inflation to 2%

💸 Plan 💸
Indefinitely print $120B per month to buy treasuries & agency mortgage-backed securities, with no intention of selling them back into the market.
