High interest rate in the 1980′s – what caused it ?

ironwood9 asked:


I worked for a very large Savings & Loan in the early 1980′s, and interest paid on CD accounts went crazy. We offered these short term investments, where if you plunked down $1,000 minimum, you could earn 15-17 percent some insanely high amount of interest.

What fueled those high interest rates ?
