Warsh's Jackson Hole Inflation Vow | Bloomberg Businessweek Daily 8/28/2026
Context
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh warned inflation isn’t meaningfully slowing, but vowed policymakers will return inflation to their 2% goal. Bloomberg News' Economics & Policy Correspondent Mike McKee is in Jackson Hole where Warsh gave his first speech since becoming chairman of the Central Bank. Brooke May, Managing Partner at Evans May Wealth, also reacts to Warsh's inflation vow with some skepticism. Then, Linamar Executive Chair Linda Hasenfratz discusses President Trump's tariff threats on the Canadian cars and auto parts, saying if a 50% tariff is imposed by next year it would bring the industry "to its knees." Finally, Affirm Founder & CEO Max Levchin explains how his company sets rates and keeps up with a growing industry, arguing Affirm's transparency makes it stand out from competitors.
