This selection from the authors' A Monetary History of the United
States, 1867-1960 (Princeton) describes the changes that were made in
the banking structure and in the monetary standard following the great
contraction of 1929 to 1933, the establishment of monetary policies
after the New Deal period, and the development of inflation during World
War II.
Originally published in 1980.
