by Alan Blinder
Alan Blinder takes up the story of the monetary history of the United States where Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz left off (A Monetary History of the United States 1867-1960), covering the period from 1961 to the present day. He explores the interplay of monetary and fiscal policy over this period, looking at, among other things, the inflation of the 1970s, Reaganomics, the financial crisis and the great recession.
