A former chair of the Federal Reserve explains the transformation of one our most powerful and consequential institutions.
In response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have deployed tools that past policymakers and economists might have considered radical. Programs like large-scale securities purchases and a new policy framework remain a source of confusion for investors, journalists, and ordinary citizens alike. Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy demystifies these opaque techniques to reveal how economic ideas, historical events, and political forces have transformed the Fed’s policies over several decades. From the stagflation of the 1970s to the Great Recession and the recent pandemic, Ben S. Bernanke masterfully examines how the Fed’s policies—and the institution itself—may change as it grapples with persistently low interest rates, systemic financial risk, rapid technological change, and polarized politics. With unparalleled depth of expertise and robust historical sweep, Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding modern finance, investments, or U.S. economic policy.

Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz, wrote, “A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960, which educated economists on monetary history but by so doing also instructed on tools to use to modify exigencies in the financial markets. Ben S. Bernanke’s “Modern History 21st Century Monetary Policy,” updates the 1963 book by Friedman and Schartz to the present (2022) time. The book is a deep dive into economic weeds so make sure you can handle the straight science of economics. There is no juicy plot here to be followed. Just a lot of stuff to consider in managing the non-formalistic science of economics. Is this boring book any good? If you're into economics the work is brilliant, informative, full of tools and strategies, and a very satisfying read. Bernanke has earned my respect.
