“The key is to pay attention to the Fed. Volcker put the Fed into inflation mode, and big-spending Reagan only helped the inflationary cause throughout the 80’s.  Fast forward to 1987, and in comes ‘The Maestro’ Alan Greenspan as Fed Chairman. Within weeks of his taking over, the Greenspan Fed began tightening credit to stem the Volcker inflation that began with the Mexican bailout in 1982.  Now, those who understand the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, know what happens once interest rates start to rise after a long period of double-digit monetary expansion.  In 1987 it was a steep decline.”
