Age of Easy Money

Dr.Docs' Take

Age of Easy Money is FRONTLINE tracing how years of cheap money and Federal Reserve decisions inflated the bubbles behind everything from Silicon Valley Bank to your own rising rent. It is not flashy, it is the slow, boring machinery of who gets rich when interest rates stay near zero. I love a conspiracy that is just monetary policy in a nice suit. Follow the free money, and a lot of the modern economy suddenly makes grim sense.

High inflation, recession fears and sudden bank collapses left many wondering how the economy reached such a fragile point. This two-hour FRONTLINE special traces the long era of cheap money and the Federal Reserve's central role in it. It connects boom, bubble and crisis to decisions made over years of low interest rates. Clear and rigorous, it explains a complex financial story in terms anyone can follow.
