“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.

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.”
