Episode 188: Christopher Leonard & "The Lords of Easy Money"

We're going to learn something today on the TrapDraw! Joining Randy is author and reporter, Christopher Leonard. Christopher has written three books--"The Meat Racket", "Kochland", and "The Lords of Easy Money", the latter being the point of focus for today's conversation. Specifically, we'll talk about the Federal Reserve and the aggressive monetary policy they've been engaged in since 2010 which has had profound impacts on our markets and society. It's a very timely discussion if you've been paying attention to financial news of late.  In addition to his work writing and reporting, Christopher Leonard is the executive director of the Watchdog Writers Group, a part of the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
