News that the U.S. economy is growing at a torrid pace and that wage inflation is picking up ignited a sell-off. Alan Greenspan has voiced concerns about wage inflation and this data added to these concerns. http://cbs.marketwatch.com/archive/20000128/news/current/snapshot.htx The Employment Cost Index rose at a surprisingly strong 1.1% in the fourth quarter while GDP grew at a sizzling 5.8% annual rate during the final three months of 1999, indicating signs of rising inflation. |

Fed chairman Alan Greenspan expressed his concern over the soaring stock market and possible inflation. He moderated his inflation worries by noting that the economy has been able to grow at a strong rate without rampant inflation. http://www.mercurycenter.com/svtech/news/breaking/merc/docs/049461.htm |

The fear is that if the economy expands to rapidly, inflation will set in. While a person can benefit from inflation, most people do not. Rampant inflation is one of the factors that put Hitler into power prior to WWII. What the Fed wants and what the most people will benefit from is a growth rate that is managable. A slow growth rate is managable. A rapid growth rate may not be manageable and inflation could be the result. |

I've had all kinds of economic theory thrown my way, but I've still never understood why in reality the economy needs to be slowed. As far as i'm concerned, the Fed's purpose is to make sure the economy grows continuously...not fabricate economic ups and downs; anyone can benefit from a growing economy, but not everyone can benefit from a forcably slowed one. |
