50 分钟Welcome to macro museums where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macro economic issues of the past,
present and future.
I am your host David Beckworth,
a senior research fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Paul Kupiec.
Paul is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, or AEI,
and formerly worked at the FDIC, the IMF, the Fed, and Wall Street.
Paul joins us today to discuss issues surrounding the Fed's balance sheet and recent calls by members of Congress to end interest on reserves.
Paul, welcome to the show.
Thank you, David.
Thanks for inviting me.
It's great to have you on.
Now, we first met at an event that you hosted at the AEI.
You graciously invited me to participate on a panel.
I think George Seligman had launched his book.
on the Fed's new floor system.
It was myself, George Seligin, and then Bill Nelson, and yourself had a great conversation.
Got to know you, got to know Bill Nelson.
Lots of fun conversations since that time with Bill and George on operating systems,
