- Summary:
-
"This is the first biography of William McChesney Martin Jr. (1906-1998), the first paid president of the New York Stock Exchange and the chairman of the Federal Reserve System under Presidents Truman to Nixon. The extent of Martin's influence on the course of American economic history is significant: arguably he had done more to strengthen and reform the nation's most important financial institutions than any other individual.".
"Chairman of the Fed tells William Martin's life story and explains his lasting impact on the NYSE and the Fed, both troubled institutions that were transformed under his leadership. The book provides an inside look into the economic deliberations of five presidential administrations and describes Martin's battles to bring about ethical and intelligent regulation of U.S. financial markets. His experiences shed light not only on the history and evolution of the American financial system but also on critical issues that confront the system today."--BOOK JACKET.
