How the Fed Interest Rate Affects the Market

September 18th, 2007 | by rocketc |

This is a great post on one of my favorite personal finance blogs. I have a basic idea of how interest rates affect the market and the economy, but Jim’s post puts it in laymen’s terms that almost everyone can understand.

What I am curious about, is what would happen to the economy if it was released from a centralized, federal control? What exactly keeps those in government from “playing politics” with the economy? -rocketc
