Tackling the Infrastructure and Unemployment Crises: The "American System" Solution The National Infrastructure Bank of 2020 can rebuild crumbling infrastructure across America, pushing up long-term growth, not only without driving up taxes or the federal debt, but without hyper-inflating the money supply or generating financial asset bubbles.

Why the Fed Needs Public Banks The Fed's policy tools -- interest rate manipulation, quantitative easing, and "Special Purpose Vehicles" -- have all failed to revive local economies suffering from government-mandated shutdowns. The Fed must rely on private banks to inject credit into Main Street, and private banks are currently unable or unwilling to do it. The tools the Fed actually needs are public banks, which could and would do the job.

When Profits and Politics Drive Science: The Hazards of Rushing a Vaccine at "Warp Speed" More than 100 companies are competing to be first in the race to get a COVID-19 vaccine to market.

Another Bank Bailout Under Cover of a Virus State and local governments with a mandate to serve the public interest deserve to be treated as well as private Wall Street banks that have repeatedly been found guilty of frauds on the public.

Crushing the States, Saving the Banks Banks can now borrow effectively for free, without restrictions on the money's use.

Was the Fed Just Nationalized? Wall Street and the stock market were driven onto life-support by a virus. It took only a few days for Congress to unanimously pass the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which will be doling out $2.2 trillion in crisis relief, most of it going to Corporate America with few strings attached.

The Fed's Baffling Response to the Coronavirus Explained In an attempt to contain the damage, the Federal Reserve on March 3 slashed the fed funds rate from 1.5% to 1.0%, in its first emergency rate move and biggest one-time cut since the 2008 financial crisis.
