How does the Federal Reserve's reliance on outdated economic theories, such as the Phillips Curve, contribute to its current policy failures regarding inflation control?

The Fed's inflation control measures are failing due to a flawed model that misinterprets inflation types (monetary vs. non-monetary) and ignores key market signals like soaring commodity prices and gold's increase. This failure stems from abandoning the gold standard and focusing on interest rate manipulation rather than currency stability.

How do the varied borrowing costs across different economic actors demonstrate the limitations of central bank policy?
