<But should the Fed raise rates to cure the liquidity and financial asset (stock price) inflation problem?> Thanks for an insightful post. I think the answer to the above question is yes. Why? Because the financial sector is not as "decoupled" from the real economy as many would suggest. Else the very real Great Depression would not have resulted from the great crash. Also look at Asia . . . All the evidence suggests that financial sector is very much linked to the real economy and that inflation in financial assets is a big problem for the real economy. Just my 2 cents.
