Name: The courage to act
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: Ben Bernanke

Ben Bernanke, appointed chair of the Federal Reserve in 2006, draws upon his academic background at Stanford and Princeton and his early public service in Washington to illustrate the extraordinary measures taken to avert a global financial collapse. Over two years, he describes the Fed’s rapid deployment of unconventional tools—including quantitative easing and emergency lending—to stabilize banks, support the housing market, and restore confidence in the financial system. In working closely with President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretaries, Bernanke provides an unparalleled insider view of the crisis response, the legislative and regulatory changes that followed, and the broader implications for monetary policy and economic recovery.
