Ben S. Bernanke is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Author of the best-selling memoir The Courage to Act, he served as chair of the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014.
"Bernanke is the most influential thinker and practitioner on
central banking of our era. His book, 21st Century Monetary Policy,
offers a lucid account of the evolution of central banking and the
US central bank from the ‘great inflation’ of the late 1960s, 1970s
and early 1980s to today and into the future."
*Martin Wolf - Financial Times*
"...[A] uniquely practical book as the public tries to better
understand the powers of the Fed and Congress to juice or slow the
economy amid a supply-chain crunch and sky-high demand."
*Andrew Ross Sorkin - The New York Times*
"This exercise of historical assessment from a central participant
is one that more policymakers should probably try. It allows
readers to make judgements along with Bernanke and think about what
lesson today's policymakers—who are once again battling
inflation—might take."
*David Leonhardt - The New York Times*
