In today's show, Bob answered a question about his model's view of monetary policy by saying that it is currently the strongest component of the model and that he continues to look very favorably on Greenspan's conduct of monetary policy. But he also questioned whether the current rapid growth is going to result in inflationary pressure in the future (which it sometimes but not always does.)

While Bob has delved into some depths about the other components of his model, I haven't heard a detailed explanation of monetary policy and have a few questions -

Why is the monetary growth currently so high?

How would a high monetary growth cause inflation?

Does the fed affect this by changing liquidity and can they affect this without affecting interest rates?

Does it make sense to compare the monetary growth to GDP growth?

Any thoughts?
