The extent of Martin's influence on the course of American economic history was significant: arguably he has done more to strengthen and reform the nation's most important financial institutions than has any other individual. Chairman of the Fed tells Martin's fascinating life story and explains his lasting impact on the NYSE and the Fed, both troubled institutions that Martin transformed. The book provides an inside look into the economic deliberations of five presidential administrations and describes Martin's battles to bring about ethical and intelligent regulation of U.S. financial markets. His experiences shed light not only on the evolution of the American financial system but also on critical issues that confront the system today. 606 $aGovernment economists$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy$y1945-1960 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy$y1961-1971 615 0$aGovernment economists 676 $a332.1/1/092 676 $aB 700 $aBremner$b Robert P.$f1940-$01571241 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777853403321 996 $aChairman of the Fed$93845529 997 $aUNINA
