Volcker. As a young economist in the early fifties, Mr. Volcker worked at this Bank under Mr. Sproul. He remained in touch with him after he, in turn, became the Bank’s President in 1975. Preparation of the volume, under Mr. Volcker’s direction, was initiated several months before he was appointed Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Many people contributed to the preparation of this book. The Bank is particularly indebted to Lawrence S. Ritter, Professor of Finance at New York University, who made the final selection of the material to be included, edited where necessary, and arranged the papers. He wrote the introductory biographical sketch of Mr. Sproul and the chapter in­ troductions. In the process of gathering information for the introductory biography, Professor Ritter was generously assisted by several people whose help was invaluable. They include Charles A. Coombs, Robert V. Roosa, Robert G. Rouse, William F. Treiber, and Thomas O. Waage, all of whom had been colleagues of Mr. Sproul at this Bank; Richard P. Cooley, Chairman of the Board, Wells Fargo Bank; Murray J. Rossant, Director, The Twentieth Century Fund; and last, but by no means least, Mary C. Regan, Mr. Sproul’s secretary at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for twenty-five years. Carl W. Backlund, Chief, Central Records and Archives Division of this Bank, undertook the initial sifting and winnowing of the large volume of Mr. Sproul’s papers—including his speeches, articles, Con­ gressional testimony, internal memoranda, and letters. Stephen V.O. Clarke, Research Officer and Senior Economist, then reduced this material to manageable proportions, organized it in terms of subject matter, and made a preliminary selection of papers for inclusion in the book. To all of them, we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Anthony M. Solomon President December 1980 Digitized for FRASER IX http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Foreword A M ■Lllan Sproul was the third chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, having been its President from January 1941 until he retired in June 1956. He came to this Bank as Secretary in 1930, after serving during the twenties at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. His interest in public policy and central banking was lifelong. Those who knew him were invariably impressed with the breadth of his vision combined with technical competence, the strength of his convictions combined with a grace and temperance in intellectual combat, the sense of dignity and position combined with a warmth of personal friendship. During his presidency of the “New York Fed”, he stimulated a whole generation of Federal Reserve officials to find their careers in central banking and related professions, fostering monetary stability in this country and international economic cooperation. Throughout his “retirement”, he continued to support those causes, con­ sulting with those from Presidents on down who sought his judgment. The volume of his writings—published and unpublished—bears testimony to the scope of his interests and the quality of his thought. A representative selection from these writings is of more than historical interest, and a fitting memorial for a great central banker. Paul A.

  • The Perfect Storm
    The Perfect Storm A True Story of Men Against the Sea by Sebastian Junger Contents FOREWORD GEORGES BANK, 1896 GLOUCESTER, MASS., 1991 GOD’S COUNTRY THE FLEMISH CAP THE BARREL OF THE GUN GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC THE ZERO-MOMENT POINT THE WORLD OF THE LIVING INTO THE ABYSS THE DREAMS OF THE DEAD AFTERWORD ACKNOWLEDGMENTS THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO MY FATHER, WHO FIRST INTRODUCED ME TO THE SEA. FOREWORD Recreating the last days of six men who disappeared at sea presented some obvious problems for me. On the one hand, I wanted to write a completely factual book that would stand on its own as a piece of journalism. On the other hand, I didn’t want the narrative to asphyxiate under a mass of technical detail and conjecture. I toyed with the idea of fictionalizing minor parts of the story—conversations, personal thoughts, day-to-day routines—to make it more readable, but that risked diminishing the value of whatever facts I was able to determine. In the end I wound up sticking strictly to the facts, but in as wide-ranging a way as possible. If I didn’t know exactly what happened aboard the doomed boat, for example, I would interview people who had been through similar situations, and survived. Their experiences, I felt, would provide a fairly good description of what the six men on the Andrea Gail had gone through, and said, and perhaps even felt. As a result, there are varying kinds of information in the book. Anything in direct quotes was recorded by me in a formal interview, either in person or on the telephone, and was altered as little as possible for grammar and clarity.

  • Marriner S. Eccles and the 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord: Lessons for Central Bank Independence
    Working Paper No. 747 Marriner S. Eccles and the 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord: Lessons for Central Bank Independence by Thorvald Grung Moe* Levy Economics Institute of Bard College January 2013 * Thorvald Grung Moe is a senior adviser at Norges Bank, the central bank of Norway, and a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the position of Norges Bank. The Levy Economics Institute Working Paper Collection presents research in progress by Levy Institute scholars and conference participants. The purpose of the series is to disseminate ideas to and elicit comments from academics and professionals. Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, founded in 1986, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, independently funded research organization devoted to public service. Through scholarship and economic research it generates viable, effective public policy responses to important economic problems that profoundly affect the quality of life in the United States and abroad.

Box 5000 Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504-5000 http://www.levyinstitute.org Copyright © Levy Economics Institute 2013 All rights reserved ISSN 1547-366X ABSTRACT The 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord is an important milestone in central bank history. It led to a lasting separation between monetary policy and the Treasury’s debt-management powers, and established an independent central bank focused on price stability and macroeconomic stability. This paper revisits the history of the Accord and elaborates on the role played by Marriner Eccles in the events that led up to its signing. As chairman of the Fed Board of Governors since 1934, Eccles was also instrumental in drafting key banking legislation that enabled the Federal Reserve System to take on a more independent role after the Accord.

And, there is no evidence that any of the administrations objected to this neglect. —Allan H. Meltzer (1991, 55) 4.1 Introduction The Bretton Woods Wxed- exchange- rate system attempted to maintain par values and promoted free cross- border Wnancial Xows while still allow- ing countries to promote domestic macroeconomic objectives, notably full employment. 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.

  • Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve
    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.
