But do we really understand what is meant by "Federal Reserve independence"? Using scores of examples from the Fed's rich history, The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve shows that much common wisdom about the nation's central bank is inaccurate. Legal scholar and financial historian Peter Conti-Brown provides an in-depth look at the Fed's place in government, its internal governance structure, and its relationships to such individuals and groups as the president, Congress, economists, and bankers. Exploring how the Fed regulates the global economy and handles its own internal politics, and how the law does--and does not--define the Fed's power, Conti-Brown captures and clarifies the central bank's defining complexities. He examines the foundations of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which established a system of central banks, and the ways that subsequent generations have redefined the organization. Challenging the notion that the Fed Chair controls the organization as an all-powerful technocrat, he explains how institutions and individuals--within and outside of government--shape Fed policy. Conti-Brown demonstrates that the evolving mission of the Fed--including systemic risk regulation, wider bank supervision, and as a guardian against inflation and deflation--requires a reevaluation of the very way the nation's central bank is structured. Investigating how the Fed influences and is influenced by ideologies, personalities, law, and history, The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve offers a clear picture of this uniquely important institution. -- Provided by publisher 610 10 $a United States. $b Federal Reserve Board 650 0 $a Federal Reserve banks. 650 0 $a Banks and banking, Central $z United States. 650 0 $a Monetary policy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 650 6 $a Banques de la ReÌserve feÌdeÌrale. 650 6 $a Banques centrales $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Politique moneÌtaire $z EÌtats-Unis. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique eÌconomique. 650 7 $a Federal Reserve banks. $2 aat 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Finance. $2 bisacsh 610 17 $a United States. $b Federal Reserve Board $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00595863 650 7 $a Banks and banking, Central. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827036 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Federal Reserve banks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922135 650 7 $a Monetary policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025230 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2546E08CE17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
