42 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings,
where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic 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,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Welcome everyone to a very special edition of Macro Musings, the podcast.
We are coming to you live from the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank with its president, Rafael Bostek.
Rafael, thank you for joining us.
Thank you for coming down to set some time with me.
Oh, it's great to be here in the building live,
and this will come out in a few weeks for the other listeners.
Last time we were together, it was in May at your wonderful financial markets conference.
You invited me to participate to moderate a panel.
But I love the conference because it dealt with the plumbing of the financial system.
We talked about private credit growth.
You had panels on the treasury market, the operating system of the central bank.
I moderated that one.
And you had a fascinating conversation with the vice chair of the Federal Reserve about the liquidity facility.
So a lot of fantastic conversations.
