money printing in the wake of q e three but if you watched our show a week ago give our new one ready for it. two years ago we had this whole thing with the finance minister from brazil talking about turning to war as the currency wars and yet his exact downpayment of what's happening we could potentially have that again. edward harrison called it but what could be the fallout from fed policy this time around we'll talk about it and david stockman former lawmaker and o.m.b. director under ronald president. greg and has had some choice words recently for the federal reserve we've played clips before but here's a reminder. you know these lunatics who are running and i use. are basically telling the whole world on truth about the cost of money because the rule is home only to you wonder why we. well said but we

1:29 pm
according to multiple press reports and you may remember brazil's finance minister coined the term a couple of years ago when governments around the world were competing to lower their exchange rates to boost competitiveness and the argument was because of central bank easing like the fed's q e liquidity was flowing into rapidly growing emerging markets that were overheating and they were fighting back to try to cool off but it's important to know this now. we could potentially have that again of course all of these economies are slowing not just in the united states and in europe and so forth but brazil's only going to have two percent g.d.p. growth this year so it's a little bit of a different story. we're in different times so we will have to watch for a revival of currency wars and the effects but there is enough evidence of the mal effect of federal reserve policy to talk about that right now and joining me from our new york studio to do so is days.
