1. In Fed We Trust
This book provides an insightful analysis of the Federal Reserve's response to the 2008 financial crisis, highlighting the central bank's pivotal role in preventing a complete economic collapse. Through a detailed account, it explores the decisions and actions taken by the Fed under the leadership of Ben Bernanke, including unconventional measures such as bailouts and quantitative easing. The narrative not only sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by the Federal Reserve during one of the most turbulent periods in modern financial history but also sparks a discussion on the implications of its actions for democracy, the economy, and the future of financial regulation.
