The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again on Wednesday, continuing its year-long push to curb inflation. But that balance is more elusive than ever given the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and subsequent meltdowns tied to the new rate environment.
James Jacoby, a correspondent with Frontline, spent years reporting on the Fed’s mysterious ways for an installment of the PBS series, Age of Easy Money. The documentary, which premiered last week and is available to stream for free on the Frontline YouTube channel, details the long series of decisions from the 2000s to today that kept interest rates artificially low. The challenge now: Trying to get companies of all stripes to forego one of the foundational elements that helped them grow.
“Silicon Valley is going through a correction right now, in large part because easy money is over,” Jacoby told Deadline in an interview.
