Feature Article: "Monetary Policy Comes of Age: A 20th Century Odyssey"
A permanent national commitment to price stability requires that citizens unfamiliar with the trauma of high inflation understand the rationale for price stability and the policy actions needed to maintain it. In this article, Marvin Goodfriend reviews the history of U.S. monetary policy in the 20th century with the aim of providing that understanding. The author identifies mistakes that led to high and volatile inflation, lessons learned from these experiences, and principles applied in the pursuit of low inflation today.
