The Federal Reserve has an obligation to keep prices stable while promoting full employment (a.k.a. the dual mandate). Watch the video and comment. The goal of this assignment is to connect what we've learned so far in the course (especially Chapters 15 and 16) with the real world operations of the Federal Reserve. To ensure originality of responses, you are welcome and encouraged to utilize outside sources to help bring in a new idea to the conversation. In other words, I prefer not to read various paraphrasing of the same couple of ideas from the entire class.
