Recession or Growth ?

source: The Fed

Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers fear of recession seems un-real to me. The US interest rates are rising not because of inflation but because of growth in the economy as reflected by rise in real interest rates. The growth implies greater investment opportunities while the savings are slightly less than usual due to consumer driven growth. This imbalance of demand vs supply of money is the root cause of rising interest rates. The fear of recession does not seem real to me.
