What happened
Frank Shostak publicly criticized the policy direction of the Federal Reserve on October 1, 2026. Shostak rejects the claim that the Great Depression was caused by the Federal Reserve’s failure to expand the money supply. Instead, he argues that credit inflation in the 1920s distorted production and depleted voluntary savings needed for capital investment.

Why it matters
Shostak contends that recovery requires restricting rather than expanding the money supply to allow genuine saving and capital formation to resume. This view challenges the inflationary prescriptions of later Federal Reserve officials and the traditional role of the Central Bank in managing money supply.
