This lesson focuses on contractionary monetary policy by analyzing a 1955 primary source document of a speech Federal Reserve Chair William McChesney Martin Jr. gave.

Uncurrent Events: Martin’s Punch Bowl Metaphor | Inside FRASER Blog | Discover Economic History | St. Louis Fed
Perhaps the most frequent metaphor for the Federal Reserve’s role in managing the economy involves a punch bowl and a party. Although it is often paraphrased, the actual quote is “The Federal Reserve…is in the position of the chaperone who has ordered the punch bowl removed just when the party was really warming up.” In October 1955, Fed Chair William McChesney Martin, Jr. delivered a speech to the New York Group of the Investment Bankers Association of America.

Address before the New York Group of the Investment Bankers Association of America
William McChesney Martin's Punch Bowl (Punchbowl) speech describes the Federal Reserve as a 'chaperone who has ordered the punch bowl removed just when the party was really warming up.' Earlier in the speech, Martin explains this: 'In the field of monetary and credit policy, precautionary action to prevent inflationary excesses is bound to have some onerous effects... Those who have the task of making such policy don't expect you to applaud.' In short, the punch bowl metaphor describes the Fed's job as tightening monetary policy before inflation gets out of control. Later Fed Chairs and other economic policymakers have used the 'punch bowl' metaphor in their descriptions of Fed's monetary policy actions.

Why Haven't Long-Term Interest Rates Fallen?, January 1, 2002
In 2001, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate target more than it had in over 25 years, but long term interest rates didn't budge. Has monetary policy become ineffective? Just the opposite, the authors argue. The stability of long-term rates shows that people don't expect inflation to rise. That confidence, especially in light of the dramatic shocks the economy experienced, attests to the success of the central bank's policies.
