As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

  • What Does Jerome Powell Know That William Mcchesney Martin Didn’T—And What Role Did Academic Research Play in That?
    What does Jerome Powell know that William McChesney Martin didn’t—and what role did academic research play in that? by Alan S. Blinder, Princeton University Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies Working Paper No. 259, September 2019 Keynote lecture at the Money Macro and Finance Research Group’s 50th Anniversary Conference, London School of Economics, September 4-6, 2019. Forthcoming in The Manchester School. I thank Roger Ferguson, Chris Sims, and Janet Yellen for helpful conversations, but none of them is implicated in the opinions expressed here. It is indeed a pleasure for an old LSE alumnus like me (M.Sc., 1968) to return to help mark the 50th anniversary of the Money Macro and Finance Research Group. I actually have on my bookshelf a copy of Harry Johnson’s 1972 book, Macroeconomics and Monetary Theory (Johnson, 1972), which was based on his lectures at LSE during the 1969-1970 academic year. I presumably heard some of these lectures as a student two years earlier. But fifty years is a long time and memory fails. The world changes in 50 years. In 1969, the New York Jets won the Superbowl of American football and the New York Mets won the World Series of baseball—two huge upsets in the same year! The former has never reoccurred; the latter has been repeated only once. The year 1969 is perhaps most famous for astronaut Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon—a remarkable feat that was accomplished five more times, but not since 1972. However, some aspects of the world don’t change much in a half-century.

Whereas existing scholarship assumes Federal Reserve institutions have remained static since 1913, this project demonstrates that the Federal Reserve was a site of extensive institutional experimentation across its first half century of operations. The 1913 Federal Reserve Act created thirteen autonomous agencies without offering guidance regarding how these units should function as a coherent system. The extent to which this institutional jumble congealed into a central bank-like organization has fluctuated over time.

    UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 251st Commencement ONDAY, MAY 14, 2007 The University of Pennsylvania KEEPING FRANKLIN'S PROMISE In the words of one elegiac tribute, "Great men have two lives: one which occurs while they work on this earth; a second which begins at the day of their death and continues as long as their ideas and conceptions remain powerful." These words befit the great Benjamin Franklin, whose inventions, innovations, ideas, writings, and public works continue to shape our thinking and renew the Republic he helped to create and the institutions he founded, including the University of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an "Inclination join'd with an Ability to serve Mankind, one's Country, Friends and Family" has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions — developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well — merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin's revolutionary vision for more than 267 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin's innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

John Locke? Benjamin Franklin? Henry David Thoreau? Cicero? Woodrow Wilson? Dear Quote Investigator: I was planning to end a letter with the following remark: If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter. But the number of different people credited with this comment is so numerous that an explanatory appendix would have been required, and the letter was already too long.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Papers, Post-Presidential, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: PAPERS, POST-PRESIDENTIAL, 1961-69 SECRETARY’S SERIES (A67-37, A68-1, A68-14) Processed by: JWL Date Completed: February 1994 Scope and Content Note The Secretary’s Series consists of two subseries, a subject subseries which covers essentially the years 1964-1965, and a correspondence, or reading, subseries comprised of carbon copies of outgoing correspondence of General Eisenhower. This second subseries is organized in the following annual segments: 1962, 1963, 1964-65, 1966 and 1967. Although the files plan, or set of criteria by which materials were selected for Secretary’s Series was not found, the file may have been created in order to have readily at hand certain important materials frequently needed by General Eisenhower and/or his office staff. The Subject Subseries is organized in a fashion similar to the organization of the subject segments of the annual Principal Files, that is, particular subjects bear code designations- example, “AP” for appointments, “IN” for invitations, “ME” for messages, and so forth. A sample comparison of documents from the Subject Subseries with those found in the equivalent subject files in the Principal Files revealed that duplicate copies were often found in both files. Large segments, however, appear to be unique to this file and a substantial portion of this documentation is historically significant. For example, the “Politics” (PL) files found in Boxes 2 through 5 contain important original materials, most of it bearing on the 1964 elections. Likewise, the Speech and Publications files contain important unique documentation of Eisenhower’s literary activities. Such other subjects as “FO” (Foreign Affairs) and “FE” (Federal Government) are also apparently unique to this file.

  • 1975 in Late 1969, William Mcchesney Martin's Term As Chairman of The
    CHAPTER 5 IN THE BEGINNING 1970 - 1975 In late 1969, William McChesney Martin’s term as Chairman of the Fed’s Board of Governors was ending. Now President, Richard Nixon did not want to reappoint Martin, viewing him (in John Ehrlichman’s words) as “a stereotypical tennis-playing Easterner, Ivy League banker who considers himself wholly independent of the Nixon Administration.’’ In the ‘‘summer and early fall of 1969, Martin was virtually in sole command of the country’s monetary policy from his cockpit at the Fed,’’ according to Ehrlichman’s biography Witness to Power: The Nixon Years. By law the Fed is to be strictly independent, unbuffeted by political changes in the country, but the President and his economists found it difficult, if not impossible, to deal with economic problems without some handle on the monetary machinery. Nixon wanted his own man as head of the Fed. I was instructed to tell Martin that the President would soon be naming his replacement and wished the transition to begin as soon as possible. Martin seemed a little surprised to be hearing from me about his retirement five months before his term expired, but he took it in good grace (Ehrlichman 1982 p. 248). Others in the Nixon Administration, too, expressed the new President’s concern about the Fed. According to Herbert Stein, Chair of Nixon’s Council of Economic Advisors, Nixon was concerned about the Fed’s responsibility for governance, always afraid that the Fed would “put the economy through the wringer” (Kettl 1986 p. 115). Replacing Martin gave Nixon an opportunity to influence the Fed, with Fed historian Donald Kettl reporting the President wanted “to put someone he viewed as a loyalist in the job.” Once he announced the appointment of Arthur F.
