Inside the Fed: Monetary Policy and Its Management, Martin through Greenspan to Bernanke: Stephen H. Axilrod

Written by xiaobai7834 on
Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Axilrod, a longtime Federal Reserve System veteran, provides an insider’s perspective on how the Fed has evolved over the past 50 years.

The book is based mostly on anecdotal recollections of personal interactions with central bank leaders and others as they managed policy discussions and implementation. Despite the ...

We’ll likely read about this in tomorrow morning’s headlines. In its press release , the FOMC highlighted several economic issues, using them as proof of why this new round of funding is required: ... Read Full Story

The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve: A History (Studies in Macroeconomic History): Robert L. Hetzel

Written by xiaobai7834 on
Editorial Reviews Review “The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve: A History is a comprehensive study of the evolution of monetary policy practiced by the Federal Reserve since its founding nearly a century ago. Hetzel brings a unique perspective to this material, a monetarist point of view rooted in his U of Chicago training, but a view profoundly influenced by an understanding of monetary policy in practice acquired as a life-long policy advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The story is one of a nominal anchor for monetary policy lost with the collapse of the gold standard and found after decades of ... Read Full Story
