The Fed is the central bank and has the same responsibilities as other countries, including the base lending rate. Quantitative Easing pumps money into the economy as the Fed buys bonds. But is this process working? With inflation starting to run away, Professor Richard Wolff explains what is going on and how you will be affected.

The Thom Hartmann Program covers diverse topics, including immigration reform, government intrusion, privacy, foreign policy, and domestic issues. More people listen to or watch the TH program than any other progressive talk show! Join them. #MorefromThom
