Yet over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, this elite world of bankers and economists speaking a language that only monetary experts could understand has been forced to change its ways. Amid rising inequality, weakening global economic prospects, and a pandemic, the central bank has entered into a new era of transparency and activism that has changed its role in modern society in subtle but remarkable ways. This book tells the inside story of this deeply impactful transformation, and what it means for ordinary Americans. Focusing on characters such as the Fed chairman Jerome Powell; the Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles; Vice Chair Lael Brainard; the Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari; and the long-ago Fed Chair Marriner S. Eccles - and driven by the rising tension between Main Street and Wall Street - this is a page-turning account of the modern Fed's inner workings during a crucial inflection point in history. -- cProvided by publisher.20aBoard of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.)24aJunta de Gobernadores del Sistema de la Reserva Federal de los Estados Unidos 0aFederal Reserve bankszUnited States. 4aBancos de la Reserva Federal zEstados Unidos  0aBanks and banking, CentralzUnited States. 4aBancos centraleszEstados Unidos  0aMonetary policyzUnited States. 4aPolitica monetariazEstados Unidos 0aUnited StatesxEconomic policyy2009- 4aEstados Unidos xPolítica económicay2009-
