"This is a well-structured study that presents new evidence on the strategy and consistency of Federal Reserve monetary policy during the Great Depression." The Journal of American History
"This study strongly supports the premise that Federal Reserve monetary policy was consistently implemented from 1924 to 1933. The evidence provided by David Wheelock's investigations is convincing and provides a deeper insight into Federal Reserve action during the Great Depression." The Journal of American History

"...an impressive work on an important topic....This book should appeal to a wide audience. Specialists in monetary policy, as well as economists and historians in general, will find a balanced and well-written account of the competing explanations for the lack of a more responsive monetary policy during the 1930s."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Today, most scholars agree that mismanaged monetary policy contributed to the length and severity of the Great Depression. There is little agreement, however, about the causes of the Federal Reserve's mistakes. Some argue that leadership and other organizational changes prior to the depression caused a distinct change in policy strategy that lessened the Fed's responsiveness to economic conditions. Others contend that there was no change in Fed behavior, and that errors during the depression are traceable to previous policies. In this book, David C. Wheelock examines the policy strategy developed by the Federal Reserve during the 1920s and considers whether its continued use could explain the Fed's failure to respond vigorously to the depression. He also studies the effects on policy of the institutional changes occurring prior to the depression. While these changes enhanced the authority of officials who opposed open-market purchases and also caused some upward bias in discount rates, Wheelock concludes that monetary policy during the depression was in fact largely a continuation of the previous policy.The apparent contrast in Fed responsiveness to economic conditions between the 1920s and early 1930s resulted from the consistent use of a procyclical policy strategy that caused the Fed to respond more vigorously to minor recessions than to severe depressions.
