George Selgin on Average Inflation Targeting and *The Menace of Fiscal QE*

George Selgin is the director of the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives and is a returning guest to Macro Musings. He joins again to talk about his views on the Fed's new framework and his recent book titled, *The Menace of Fiscal QE.* Specifically, David and George discuss the Fed's quantitative easing evolution, and how the move to a floor system helped pave the way for fiscal QE to become a more popular policy in the present.
