The Stagflation Warning: Jerome Powell’s Stark Message and the Coming Storm of Inflation, Job Losses, and Slower Growth

As President Donald Trump escalates a full-scale trade war with historic tariffs—25% on steel and aluminum, a staggering 145% duty on Chinese imports, and a 10% baseline tariff on all U.S. imports—the Federal Reserve faces its greatest test in decades. In The Stagflation Warning , discover how Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s stark warnings unveil an economic crisis unlike anything seen since the 1970s. This powerful book explores the growing divide between Powell’s nonpartisan stance and Trump’s aggressive economic strategies, analyzing the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate to ensure full employment and stable prices—and how both are now under threat. With references to David Russell's urgent assessment that “Powell just laid down the law,” this book takes readers deep into the Fed’s refusal to enable fiscal policy choices driven by political pressure. Are we entering a new era of stagflation? Explore Powell’s concern that tariffs act as a negative supply shock, stoking inflation while strangling job growth—mirroring the painful lessons of the Volcker era. From stock market fallout (Dow down 700 points, Nasdaq plunging 3.5%) to the global repercussions of U.S. trade policy, every chapter unveils the fragile balancing act of monetary policy in an era of political disruption. You’ll gain insights on: The economic consequences of Trump’s trade war - How tariffs affect inflation and consumer prices - The real cost of tariffs (hint: it’s paid by the public, not foreign countries) - Why stagflation fears are returning to the U.S. economy - The impact on foreign investment, global supply chains, and capital flows - What the Federal Reserve might do next, and why there’s no playbook for this crisis With analysis from regional Fed voices like Austan Goolsbee and Beth Hammack, and references to data sources such as the University of Michigan inflation expectations survey, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how tariff policies, political rhetoric, and central banking strategy are shaping America’s financial future. Whether you're a policymaker, economist, investor, or concerned citizen, The Stagflation Warning will give you a clear, comprehensive look at the forces pulling the U.S. economy in multiple directions.
