Summary
The article argues that the Federal Reserve under new Chair Kevin Warsh may be breaking with its post-2008 playbook of endless QE and market rescues, as inflation runs out of control. This suggests a potential regime shift that would remove the perpetual Fed put, with major implications for risk assets and the market's reliance on central bank support.
