Allan H. Meltzer's critically acclaimed history of the Federal Reserve is the most ambitious, most intensive, and most revealing investigation of the subject ever conducted. Its first volume, published to widespread critical acclaim, spanned the period from the institution's founding in 1913 to the restoration of its independence in 1951. Book 1 of the two-part second volume chronicles the evolution and development of the Federal Reserve from the Federal Reserve Accord in 1951 to the first phase of the Great Inflation in the 1960s, revealing the inner workings of the Fed during a period of rapid and extensive change. Book 2 chronicles the evolution and development of the Federal Reserve from the Nixon administration to the mid-1980s, when the Great Inflation ended.

"The definitive history of the central bank and monetary policy in the United States... Every student of the American economy during the period of this account will find something of interest here, and anyone seeking to fathom the 'big picture' of economic policy during these years will be greatly enlightened by reading this extraordinary work of scholarship." (Business History Review) Praise for Volume 1 "Monumental." (Barron's) "A seminal work that anyone interested in the inner workings of the US central bank should read." (Washington Post) "To understand why the Fed acted as it did-at these critical moments and many others-would require years of study, poring over letters, the minutes of meetings and internal Fed documents. Such a task would naturally deter most scholars of economic history but not, thank goodness, Meltzer." (Wall Street Journal)"
