toggle caption Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesRecently, when President Trump threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, financial markets flipped out. Then Trump insisted he wasn't going to fire Powell, but he still took time to criticize the Fed's interest-rate policy under Powell's leadership. Markets chilled out, a bit.
This confrontation between the president and America's central bank inspired Planet Moneyto collaborate with its sister podcast The Indicatorto make an episode that serves as a primer on the Federal Reserve. It explains why economists and investors tend to believe that an independent central bank — free of presidential meddling — is crucial to a stable, low-inflation economy. And it goes over a bit of the history of Trump's antagonistic relationship with the Fed under Powell, a man Trump appointed to head the U.S. central bank in the first place.
