Why has it been so difficult for the Fed to increase inflation? Couldn't it have just printed more money?

- ssivark 6y agoNot an expert, but imho this is because the money they are creating is not trickling down to the hands of consumers (hence low consumer inflation). OTOH we are seeing significant asset price inflation (stocks, housing, startup valuations, etc), which is a signal of where the created money is actually flowing. By now, I don’t think this ought to be a radical insight.
