Conclusion: The First Thirty-seven Years --References --Data Sources --IndexAllan H. Meltzer's monumental history of the Federal Reserve System tells the story of one of America's most influential but least understood public institutions. This first volume covers the period from the Federal Reserve's founding in 1913 through the Treasury-Federal Reserve Accord of 1951, which marked the beginning of a larger and greatly changed institution. To understand why the Federal Reserve acted as it did at key points in its history, Meltzer draws on meeting minutes, correspondence, and other internal documents (many made public only during the 1970's) to trace the reasoning behind its policy decisions. He explains, for instance, why the Federal Reserve remained passive throughout most of the economic decline that led to the Great Depression, and how the Board's actions helped to produce the deep recession of 1937 and 1938. He also highlights the impact on the institution of individuals such as Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the 1920's, who played a key role in the adoption of a more active monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. Meltzer also examines the influence the Federal Reserve has had on international affairs, from attempts to build a new international financial system in the 1920's to the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 that established the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and the failure of the London Economic Conference of 1933. Written by one of the world's leading economists, this magisterial biography of the Federal Reserve and the people who helped shape it will interest economists, central bankers, historians, political scientists, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deep understanding of the institution that controls America's purse strings. "It was 'an unprecedented orgy of extravagance, a mania for speculation, overextended business in nearly all lines and in every section of the country.' An Alan Greenspan rumination about the irrational exuberance of the late 1990's? Try the 1920 annual report of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve. . . . To understand why the Fed acted as it did-at these critical moments and many others-would require years of study, poring over letters, the minutes of meetings and internal Fed documents. Such a task would naturally deter most scholars of economic history but not, thank goodness, Allan Meltzer."-Wall Street Journal "A seminal work that anyone interested in the inner workings of the U. S. central bank should read. A work that scholars will mine for years to come."-John M. Berry, Washington Post "An exceptionally clear story about why, as the ideas that actually informed policy evolved, things sometimes went well and sometimes went badly. . . . One can only hope that we do not have to wait too long for the second installment."-David Laidler, Journal of Economic Literature "A thorough narrative history of a high order. Meltzer's analysis is persuasive and acute. His work will stand for a generation as the benchmark history of the world's most powerful economic institution. It is an impressive, even awe-inspiring achievement."-Sir Howard Davies, Times Higher Education SupplementFederal Reserve banksElectronic books.Federal Reserve banks.332.110973Meltzer Allan H231105Greenspan Alan1926-1048552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455586703321A history of the Federal Reserve2476917UNINA04829nam 22005415 450 991030026880332120200701010455.03-319-66483-210.1007/978-3-319-66483-5(CKB)4100000003359185(MiAaPQ)EBC5341309(DE-He213)978-3-319-66483-5(PPN)226698246(EXLCZ)99410000000335918520180403d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases /edited by Khalil Fattouch, Patrizio Lancellotti, Mani A.

Pacini - Roberto Di Bartolomeo -- The Heart Valve Center of Excellence/Heart team.This book describes the different aspects of aortic valve and root diseases including comprehensive discussion of the state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging options, disease risk stratification, selection of candidates for valve repair or percutaneous intervention, and most recent therapeutic options. The growing prevalence of valvular heart disease represents a major challenge in terms of short- and long-term management and surveillance. Aortic valve diseases, including aortic stenosis and regurgitation, are among the most frequent of these, while the number of cases of aortic root disease is also on the rise. Aortic valve disease treatment options include valve surgery, valve repair, minimally invasive valve surgery, and percutaneous approaches and all are covered in this volume. Advances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases is a highly illustrated, case oriented reference aimed at cardiology fellows in training, while also helpful to surgeons, cardiologists, imagers, interventionalists, as well as other clinicians and students involved in the diagnosis and treatment of aortic valve and root diseases.HeartSurgeryCardiologyHeartImagingCardiac Surgeryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59028Cardiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037Cardiac Imaginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29071HeartSurgery.Cardiology.HeartImaging.Cardiac Surgery.Cardiology.Cardiac Imaging.617.412Fattouch Khaliledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLancellotti Patrizioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVannan Mani Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSpeziale Giuseppeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300268803321Advances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases1742371UNINA
