That extraordinary feat was just one pivotal episode in a decades-long career serving six presidents. Told with wit, humor, and down-to-earth erudition, the narrative of Volcker's career illuminates the changes that have taken place in American life, government, and the economy since World War II. He vibrantly illustrates the crises he managed alongside the world's leading politicians, central bankers, and financiers. Yet he first found his model for competent and ethical governance in his father, the town manager of Teaneck, NJ, who instilled Volcker's dedication to absolute integrity and his "three verities" of stable prices, sound finance, and good government. 600 10 $a Volcker, Paul A. 610 20 $a Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.) $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Economists $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 1971-1981. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 1981-1993. 650 0 $a Monetary policy $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 8 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020951.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022415.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060810.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200912011013.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110075549.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202012322.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181206010224.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181108010521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0000FA9AE32411E8A41CCE2097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
