Is there any evidence that the Fed does think in class struggle terms?

Their slowness to ease in this cycle, for example. Much of Wall

available workers was running low in the late 1990s.

My old pal Tom Dickens has read a lot of Fed minutes, and he says
they're full of talk of the relative bargaining strength of capital
and labor.
