Inside the Fed: Monetary Policy and Its Management, Martin through Greenspan to Bernanke ReviewAxilrod's second edition of Inside the Fed provides an illuminating view of the Federal Reserve with especially good coverage of the Great Inflation era of the 1970s to early 1980s. The best aspect of this book is the insight into the individuals who made monetary policy decisions and the view of insider's on the practical limits of the Fed's power. While this second edition discusses the Great Recession and the events leading up to it, this section does not benefit from Axilrod's intimate, day-to-day knowledge of the key players.
A few areas of the book appeared underdeveloped. A more critical view of the Fed and its role would have been beneficial to the reader. Axilrod's criticisms, to the extent they are present, are generally in the vein of "the Fed should have done more" when many of the criticisms are directed from the angle of the Fed's intervention causing the problems that it then sets out to solve. Second, there is almost no critical examination of the efficacy of combining monetary policy with the regulatory enforcement fuction of the Federal Reserve. Many of the arguments in favor of having an independent monetary policy entity (e.g., to avoid the pressure of the electoral cycle) are completely contrary to the notion of a transparent administrative agency.Inside the Fed: Monetary Policy and Its Management, Martin through Greenspan to Bernanke Overview
