crucial for keeping monetary policy decisions free of electoral politics. 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"--
