From the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to the debt ceiling, different parts of the U.S. government keep hurting the economy, writes Zachary Karabell

, including those at the Federal Reserve, who have failed to appreciate how much stress those rate increases is causing the banking system. The result has been three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history, which has surprisingly yet to create a contagion because of the overall resilience of the system not because of any great acumen on the part of government officials. The lesson should be to tread very carefully – do no harm – from here on out.
