When Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, emerges from his meetings with the Federal Open Market Committee, he addresses the media in that most Delphic of dialects – “Fedspeak.” Like any good central banker, he is careful to preach the piety of price stability. Even if he believes that more inflation could help the US economy, he would be hard pressed to admit it. His allies on the FOMC, however, have more leeway.
