SUMMARY:Fed Talk: The Crises That Led to the Fed's Creation: Monetary Policy in American History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a journey through the history of American monetary policy—including the crises that led to the Federal Reserve’s formation—with Owen Humpage\, Cleveland Fed economist emeritus. \n\n\n\nThe event will be offered both virtually and in person at the Bank’s location in downtown Cleveland. Following the session\, in-person attendees may tour the Bank’s main building\, constructed in 1923.  \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve (or “the Fed”)\, America’s central bank\, was established by Congress in 1913 mainly to conduct monetary policy. But how were these policy decisions handled before the Fed existed? \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll discover\n\n\n\nHumpage will take guests across the tumultuous monetary policy landscape of the 19th and early 20th centuries\, including \n\n\n\n\n\nThe institutions that conducted monetary policy before the Fed’s creation such as the nation’s first quasi-central banks\, the US Treasury\, and even a private bank organization—and why all of them were unsuccessful.\n\n\n\nThe various economic and political crises that forced America’s monetary function to evolve.\n\n\n\nHow the Fed was designed to help prevent future crises\, including the importance of credibility\, clear guidelines\, and Fed independence to monetary policy.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re curious about pre-Fed monetary policy or just into history\, this is your chance to hear from an expert who spent his career at the Fed and who’s still studying its origins. No economics degree required—just bring your curiosity! \n\n\n\nHumpage will answer questions during the question-and-answer portion of the event. Attendees can also submit questions in advance through the registration form. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will take your questions after the presentation. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nOwen F.
