What are interest rates?
In this Scene, I explain the basics of interest rates, how they work, and how the Federal Reserve is able to change them through means of the money supply. In addition, I discuss how interest rates changed over the last two decades, and how these changes may have played a part in contrinbuting to the current economic crisis. (NOTE: I dont get into detail about the Federal Funds or Discount RateI might add another podcast to explain that).
