in the 80s and 90s, a more focused policy, more systemic, more rules based in my view, led to long expansions, low inflation, declining unemployment and eventually higher economic growth. and unfortunately more recently we moved back to a more interventionist discretionary policy, much less systemic. the results have been a major financial crisis, major recession, and now abysmally low growth recovery. so you can look at the details. it seems to me the evidence is pretty clear that we need to improve the degree to which monetary policy is rules based rather than discretion. i think the legislation to change the dual mandate and focus on price stability which is in the bill would help in this regard. so many of these interventions have been based on an effort to address unemployment and the result has been exactly the opposite. they've creted these discretionary actions which have been harmful. those worried about removing the dual mandate will increase unemployment, i think the historical evidence is the opposite. you can look at the 70s, this highly interventionist policy led to very high un
