Essential Economics for Politicians

Money, without government setting interest rate, is like a bird withouFree market in the purest sense cannot exist without government enforcement.
How does that bird feel about negative interest rates? Again, government does not enforce interest rates.
 
Practically speaking, you'll find the purer form of free market in China, Brasil, India and a few other emerging economies.
Practically huh? Be more specific as to why the aforementioned countries practices a "purer" form of free markets. No doubt it is refreshing reading.

Let me just give you a simple example. Environmental regulations there are not nearly as vigorous as here.
 
The Feds website explicitly states that it is "an agency of the federal government." Here's the link: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm

I used to see on the 3AM cable channel cheap-buy time a guy who looked like his head was about to explode advancing theories about how the Fed is a criminal conspiracy. He offered books for sale to explain things "I'm not allowed to say on television". I think Izzie bought the full 24-volume set.
 
Read that paragraph in itʻs entirety and tell me what it says in the end.
You'd have to read yourself. You're not a 5th grader. Or are you? :)

In addition to the plain language, it was created by Congress. Its governors are appointed by POTUS and confirmed by the Senate. Its independence doesn't preclude it from being a government agency, no more than the Department of Justice.

Colloquially, people often use "government" to specifically refer to the executive branch. When we discuss government as opposed to the free market, we use "government" in a more general sense, which includes all 3 branches of government.

As an aside, in a landmark case Shelley vs Kraemer, the Supreme Court ruled that enforcing discriminatory private covenants constitutes state action under the Fourteen Amendment. In other words, our judiciary is part of government. Shelley vs Kraemer, though not well known, is the seminal case of desegregation cases which culminated in Brown vs. Bd of Education. Robert Bork's opposition to Shelley vs Kraemer turned a lot of conservatives against him. That IMHO ultimately sank his nomination.

24 volume is the free government set. You got ripped off.

From your link:

The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government. The Board--appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate--provides general guidance for the Federal Reserve System and oversees the 12 Reserve Banks. Board reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress but, unlike many other public agencies, it is not funded by congressional appropriations. In addition, though the Congress sets the goals for monetary policy, decisions of the Board--and the Fed's monetary policy-setting body, the Federal Open Market Committe--about how to reach those goals do not require approval by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government.

The bold faced part states its independence. Independence and government agency are not mutually exclusive.

Certain people here are not worthy of a response because they have no and never have had, any intent at intelligent debate. They are worthless, so they get laughed at from afar...
