“Dual mandate” of the Fed: to keep employment high and inflation low.
Economist Milton Friedman and coauthor Anna Schwartz explain in “A Monetary History of the United States,” just over a decade after its creation, the Fed actually created the panic it was founded to stop. Their policies, Friedman and Schwartz argue, spiraled what could have been an ordinary recession into the Great Depression.
Even Ben Bernanke, a member of the Fed’s board of governors at the time and later the Fed chair, said in a 2002 speech, “Let me end my talk by slightly abusing my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.”
The purpose of the fed is to help banks socialize losses and privatize profits
