Fed 'fretted' about the bubble in 1997

The Post said: "At a decisive meeting in May 1997, Fed
governor Laurence H. Meyer and nearly all of the Fed's
regional bank presidents demanded that the Fed get 'ahead
of the curve' with the first of what they expected would be
a series of rate hikes to slow the economy.

"Cathy E. Minehan, president of the Boston Fed, warned that
without some signal that the Fed was prepared to curtail
speculation in stocks and real estate there would soon be a
dangerous investment bubble."

However, the Post said, "But Greenspan, who at the previous
meeting had all but promised the 'inflation hawks' he could
support a rate hike, surprised them by presenting a
controversial new theory: that a dramatic rise in
productivity stemming from technological advances would
allow the economy to grow much faster than in the past
without triggering inflation."
