Powell keeps referring to the 1970s when talking about inflation, when really he should be referring to the 1940s.

As long as they keep trying to fight 1940s-style inflation with 1970s-style monetary policy, they're going to have a bad time. Can't tighten policy this quickly when debts are this high and not break a lot of things.

It's weird that monetary base as a percent of GDP stayed flat during the 1970s despite the high inflation during that decade.
