Key Insights:

* Not so much key insights, as key questions: (a) What are the teams? (b) 1920, 1948, 1951, 1974, or 1980? (c) Are there any true members of Team Transitory left? (d) Who is on Team The-Fed-Has-Got-This? (e) Who is on Team Hit-the-Economy-on-the-Head-with-a-Brick? (f) What inflation rate do we want to support economic reopening? (g) What inflation rate do we want to support the sectoral rebalancing—towards goods production, & towards the deliverator economy? (h) How would expected inflation get embedded in the labor market without strong unions and multi-year contracts? (i) How would expected inflation get embedded in the labor market without it first showing up in out-year bond market breakevens?

* With Putin’s invasion-of-Ukraine supply shock, Summers’s position looks a lot stronger

* Near the zero-lower-bound, there is a high option value to waiting to raise

* That optionality still seems to us, for the moment, to be the major consideration

* Thus it is too early to hit the economy on the head with a brick—even the small 5%-interest-rates brick

* But it is not too early for Jay Powell to furrow his brow and say that the Fed is considering Larry Summers’s arguments very carefully.

* Noah Smith finds that he is much more in accord with Larry Summers than he thought he would be.

* Larry and Ezra like Brad’s forthcoming Slouching Towards Utopia

* Elon Musk should take over Twitter

* Hexapodia!
