  • Summary

  • In the last episode, Amit and Ajay spoke about how the state should never mess with the price system. Well, the exchange rate is the most important price -- and the state shouldn't try to control that either!

    Welcome to Episode 67 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.

    In this episode, Ajay sheds light on one of his pet peeves -- people's obsession with the exchange rate. It doesn't matter if the rupee is 'strong' or 'weak', he argues -- these terms mean nothing. All mature economies have learnt to leave the exchange rate to the market -- and so should we. A freely fluctuating exchange rate guarantees macroeconomic stability.
