Opinion

Rising prices and economic uncertainty hit ordinary Americans the hardest—and Federal Reserve decisions are a big reason why.
Kevin Warsh, Hoover Distinguished Visiting Fellow and former Fed governor, delivers a compelling critique of America’s central bank in his latest interview on Hoover’s Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson. Warsh—who is reportedly on the shortlist to become the Fed’s next chair—argues the institution has abandoned its core mission of price stability, fueling persistent inflation that disproportionately affects everyday families.
His key concerns: the dangerous legacy of quantitative easing, institutional complacency, and the Fed’s entanglement in fiscal policy. Rather than calling for radical change, Warsh advocates for thoughtful reforms to refocus the Fed on what matters most—maintaining stable prices and economic confidence.
Watch the full discussion on Uncommon Knowledge to understand how Fed policy impacts your financial future.
