The Federal Reserve's Future Role

Abstract: A 7 page paper discussing the future of the watchdog of the economy. It is likely that the primary role of the Fed in the next ten years will remain that of watchdog. Given the long period of economic expansion and the amazing values of Wall Street, it appears that the long expansion cannot possibly last indefinitely, but that some correction will have to be made as we learn that the business cycle is indeed alive and operational. We have indeed been fortunate to have Alan Greenspan at the head for as long as we have, but the man will have to retire sometime.... We can only hope that his replacement will be as thoughtful of the consequences of the actions of the Fed and as willing to opt to leave the economy alone to let it go where it will as long as it's growing.
