Ben Bernanke's history of the Federal Reserve and its response to the 2008 financial crisis

In 2012, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, gave a series of lectures about the Federal Reserve and the 2008 financial crisis, as part of a course at George Washington University on the role of the Federal Reserve in the economy. In this unusual event, Bernanke revealed important background and insights into the central bank's crucial actions during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Taken directly from these historic talks, The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis offers insight into the guiding principles behind the Fed's activities and the lessons to be learned from its handling of recent economic challenges.

Bernanke traces the origins of the Federal Reserve, from its inception in 1914 through the Second World War, and he looks at the Fed post-1945, when it began operating independently from other governmental departments such as the Treasury. During this time the Fed grappled with episodes of high inflation, finally tamed by then-chairman Paul Volcker. Bernanke also explores the period under his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, known as the Great Moderation. Bernanke then delves into the Fed's reaction to the recent financial crisis, focusing on the central bank's role as the lender of last resort and discussing efforts that injected liquidity into the banking system. Bernanke points out that monetary policies alone cannot revive the economy, and he describes ongoing structural and regulatory problems that need to be addressed.

Providing first-hand knowledge of how problems in the financial system were handled, The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis will long be studied by those interested in this critical moment in history.

Hanes Pullover Hoodie (Red)
Size: Large, Color: Deep Red
​Pros: ​The red color is vibrant and looks great out of the box. ​Initial fit is decent. ​Cons: ​Excessive Shedding: The "fuzz" and inner lining fibers get absolutely everywhere. It sticks to your undershirt, your hair, and even the furniture. It’s a constant annoyance that doesn't seem to stop even after the first wear. ​Color Bleeding: The dye runs significantly. If you aren't extremely careful in the wash, it will ruin anything lighter than it, and you'll notice the vibrancy of the red fading faster than expected. ​Low Durability: Between the shedding and the dye issues, the quality just isn't there for long-term use. ​Final Verdict: I’d give this a 3/5 at best. While it’s an affordable basic, the mess it leaves behind and the hassle of the dye running make it more of a headache than it’s worth. I’d recommend looking for something with a higher-quality fleece lining that won't leave you covered in red lint.

Comfortable!
Size: 12.5 Big Kid, Color: Purple/Turq
My daughter loves these. She’s5. We got the size 12.5 and they fit her well.. a little space between her toes and the tip of the shoe but just the right amount. She says they are comfortable and good for her PE class and playing outside. We got the blue and then I ordered the black cause she loved them so much. They were on a great sale too!
