“In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke’s War on the Great Panic” – A Book by David Wessel
Wessel has put together a defining and vivid look at policymakers’ unprecedented response to the crisis. Wessel’s disconcerting conclusion: Out of necessity Bernanke is playing most of this by ear, loosely interpreting and appropriating arcane laws and creating new powers just to keep the system on its hinges. In Fed We Trust is persuasively told and richly reported. It is an absorbing read and will win awards and inspire copycats. Words: 665
