Chicago Fed CEO Austan Goolsbee says the US may be on a “golden path” that tames inflation without materially damaging the robust labor market. Speaking with Marketplace.org on Thursday, he explained: “It’s possible we could get on the golden path, it’s not a guarantee. But the golden path would be almost unprecedented to get inflation down a lot without having a serious recession. That will be a triumph, the Fed and other central banks around the world have virtually never been able to do that. But I do think at this moment, we might be able to. Monetary policy’s working, that’s certainly what we’re trying to shoot for.”
