Shadow Open Market Committee

The Committee was founded at a time when many monetarist economists believed the Federal Reserve—and the alleged dominance of new Keynesians within the Fed—had caused a recession by failing to keep money supply growth steady, and advocates that the Fed change its procedures to tighten its control of M-1. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Committee's biannual studies consistently blamed the Fed for contributing to the inflation of that period. After 1982, the SOMC was critical of the Fed's return to short-term interest rate targeting, which it believed would further inflation. Wikipedia*
