# ![@profstonge Avatar](https://lunarcrush.com/gi/w:26/cr:twitter::319495411.png) @profstonge Peter St Onge, Ph.D.

Peter St Onge, Ph.D. has been commenting on various economic and political issues. He notes that despite low inflation, the Federal Reserve is pushing for more rate hikes to crush the jobs market, and criticizes the Fed's actions as trying to control the economy without a clear understanding of what they're doing. He also highlights positive economic developments, such as Argentina's rapid growth after cutting government spending, and the potential for stablecoins to disrupt traditional banking and inflation.
