Symposium Recap on Peter Conti-Brown’s The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve

Earlier this month we hosted a terrific online symposium reviewing my co-blogger Peter Conti-Brown’s important new book The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve, which was recently published by the Princeton University Press. The contributions to the symposium were diverse and thought-provoking.

For ease of reference, I thought I’d include links to all of the posts here, in the order they appeared on the blog:
