The Fed Unbound

Central Banking in a Time of Crisis
Book • 2022
In 'The Fed Unbound', Lev Menand explores how the Federal Reserve has evolved beyond its original mandate, particularly during crises like the 2008 financial meltdown and the COVID-19 pandemic.

He argues that the Fed's interventions, while stabilizing the economy, have exacerbated economic inequality and calls for reforms to address these issues.

Menand advocates for stronger congressional oversight and regulation of shadow banking to ensure a more equitable financial system.
