For more than 100 years since its inception, the United States
struggled through a variety of financial problems, crises, and
would-be solutions to the problems of currency, credit and
financial stability. On December 23, 1913, Woodrow Wilson signed
into law the Federal Reserve Act, creating a ""monster"" patterned
after the central banks of Europe yet still uniquely American.
Throughout the years, this system has served the nation well. This
is the first complete discussion of the workings of the system to
date--the early history, organization, leadership, evolution and
development, and major figures. Appendices include the original
Federal Act (not readily available elsewhere) and numerous
reference tables covering 1914-1989.
