The post-COVID inflation was the worst in 40 years. What caused this inflation? What reforms can contain it going forward? As usual, the biggest culprit was printing too much money. Congress overdid its pandemic stimulus, and the Federal Reserve financed it by growing the money supply by 40 percent in just two years. An enduring solution involves simplifying the Fed’s mission so it can focus full-time on inflation, and binding it with a policy rule that would limit its discretion during a crisis.
