The market “decisions” of course are highly decentralized; what sometimes appears to be the result of actions of a few decision makers is simply the result of the functioning of a complex system.

Yes, a very complex system. Unfortunately with complexity comes misunderstanding, which leads to contempt and fear that feeds the mechanisms of misinformation by those who wish to foment chaos and distrust. And the cycle gets stronger and stronger as that distrust permeates every aspect of our lives.
Either that or the collective opinion and decision making of a committee of bankers who meet periodically..
Yes, disproportionately so - to the extent of market manipulation in a major way. The Fed’s decisions on interest rates are designed to herd the market in a specific direction according to their “mandates.”

I'm curious.. what would be your current policy on interest rates? Where do you think rates should be today?

That's not a mask. Cohodk is using a selfie.

From Wiki:
In economics, a free market is an economic system in which the prices of goods and services are determined by supply and demand expressed by sellers and buyers. Such markets, as modeled, operate without the intervention of government or any other external authority. Proponents of the free market as a normative ideal contrast it with a regulated market, in which a government intervenes in supply and demand by means of various methods such as taxes or regulations.
Unfortunately, most markets are not really free, but regulated in various ways.

@cohodk said “Markets represent the collective opinion and decision making of millions are people.”
Either that or the collective opinion and decision making of a committee of bankers who meet periodically.
How do they make decisions? From the data of generated by 100 million other decisions?

Interest rates should be set by the free market. Not a bunch of guys in a room doing what they think is right.

This.
It’s not just a bunch of guys in a room. It’s monopolistic behavior by a group of bankers acting in their own self-interest.
To think otherwise requires what Hillary Clinton referred to as “the willful suspension of disbelief”.
I knew it would happen.
So at what rate do you think the "free market" should be?
Is the free market rate the same in Fresno, CA or Detroit as in St. Louis or NYC or Jacksonville?
How about the free market rate in the USA compared to Japan, China or Iran?
And, at what rate do you feel would be appropriate in the USA today?

You really have trouble with the concept of a free market, don’t you?

Not at all. But you have a problem with my questions. Are they too hard for you? They made you think a little, didn't they? And it hurt.
Let's try again....
If you can't answer, then maybe it's YOU who doesn't know what a free market is.
