And, there is no evidence that any of the administrations objected to this neglect. —Allan H.

It hoped to do so by allowing countries to alter parities in the face of fundamental disequilibria and to temporarily impose restraints on Wnancial Xows. Whether such a system ever oVered a long- term, viable solu- tion to the fundamental trilemma of international Wnance seems unlikely, but more immediate Xaws shortened whatever longevity Bretton Woods may have had.

    P1: SBT 9780521881326pre CUNY1202/Hetzel 978 0 521 88132 6 February 25, 2008 16:9 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: SBT 9780521881326pre CUNY1202/Hetzel 978 0 521 88132 6 February 25, 2008 16:9 THE MONETARY POLICY OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve details the evolution of the monetary standard from the start of the Federal Reserve through the end of the Greenspan era. The book places that evolution in the context of the intellectual and political environment of the time. By understanding the fitful process of replacing a gold standard with a paper money standard, the conduct of monetary policy becomes a series of experiments useful for understanding the fundamental issues concerning money and prices. How did the recurrent monetary instability of the twentieth century relate to the economic instability and to the associated political and social turbulence? After the detour in policy represented by FOMC chairmen Arthur Burns and G. William Miller, Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan established the monetary standard originally foreshadowed by William McChesney Martin, who became chairman in 1951. The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve explains in a straightforward way the emergence and nature of the modern, inflation-targeting central bank. Robert L. Hetzel is Senior Economist and Policy Adviser in the Research Depart- ment of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where he has served for more than 30 years. Dr. Hetzel’s research has appeared in publications such as the Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking; the Journal of Monetary Economics; the Monetary and Economics Studies series of the Bank of Japan; and the Carnegie-Rochester Confer- ence Series.His writings provided one of the catalysts for the congressional hearings and treasury studies leading to the issuance of Treasury Inflation Protected Secu- rities, or TIPS.

Many would be the basis for encouragement and confidence, for the Free World is getting on with its job. Others would cause concern and anxiety because they remain difficult and dangerous. I hope you will let me address myself to one of the latter this evening – a seemingly remote sector of the great worldwide struggle between freedom and coercion, a sector often poorly understood if not deliberately misrepresented, but a sector of vital importance to the future health and security of the Free World. I refer to Vietnam. Vietnam is a narrow strip along the South China Sea, nearly as large as California, with a population of some 30,000,000 – about 16,000,000 in the north, and about 14,000,000 in the south. With Cambodia and Laos, Vietnam formed what was formerly known as French Indo-China. During the Second World War, the Vichy regime yielded control of French Indo-China to the Japanese. In the spring of 1945, the Japanese proclaimed the independence of Vietnam. And in August of that year they permitted the Communist-oriented Viet Minh to seize rule. In the Indian The Economic Club of New York – Dean Rusk & Alfred Hayes – April 22, 1963 Page 2 subcontinent, Burma and the Philippines, western countries recognized at war’s end that national demands for independence would have to be met promptly.

To Moos and Misha In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods.
