In 2012, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, gave a
series of lectures about the Federal Reserve and the 2008 financial
crisis, as part of a course at George Washington University on the
role of the Federal Reserve in the economy. In this unusual event,
Bernanke revealed important background and insights into the
central bank's crucial actions during the worst financial crisis
since the Great Depression. Taken directly from these historic
talks, The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis offers insight
into the guiding principles behind the Fed's activities and the
lessons to be learned from its handling of recent economic
challenges. Bernanke traces the origins of the Federal Reserve,
from its inception in 1914 through the Second World War, and he
looks at the Fed post-1945, when it began operating independently
from other governmental departments such as the Treasury. During
this time the Fed grappled with episodes of high inflation, finally
tamed by then-chairman Paul Volcker. Bernanke also explores the
period under his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, known as the Great
Moderation. Bernanke then delves into the Fed's reaction to the
recent financial crisis, focusing on the central bank's role as the
lender of last resort and discussing efforts that injected
liquidity into the banking system. Bernanke points out that
monetary policies alone cannot revive the economy, and he describes
ongoing structural and regulatory problems that need to be
addressed. Providing first-hand knowledge of how problems in the
financial system were handled, The Federal Reserve and the
Financial Crisis will long be studied by those interested in this
critical moment in history.
