Name: Jeffrey M. Lacker

Summary: Why Jeffrey Lacker Is Worried About Inflation: "I can’t predict the meeting and what my colleagues will do, but it does look like the recent data, and particularly the October employment report, has strengthened the case for raising rates. I’ve thought the case was strong for over six months now. I’m hoping I can be more persuasive in December."
