For more than 20 years David Wessel has beenThe Wall Street Journal's insider at the Federal Reserve, with continual access not only to Fed Chairmen Greenspan and Bernanke, but also to other Fed governors, policy-makers, and staffers. While the Constitution specifies three coequal branches of government, over the past three decades a fourth branch has emerged, the Federal Reserve. The single most important economic institution in the world, the Fed steers the13 trillion dollar American economy by printing money and influencing the price of credit. In stable times it has a powerful yet unseen effect on the day-to-day life of every person in the world. But when things hit the fanas they did in 2007 and 2008the Fed is huge. It has great power, yet it is a distinctly undemocratic institution. Explaining both what happened and why it happened during the great panic of 2008, David Wessel provides new insight into how the Fed really worksand the fears Bernanke and other key players dealt with as the economic car was about to go off the cliff. "What if we get it wrong, as we did in the Depression? Then what?" Wessel shows the lightbulbs illuminating as they realized how much worse things were as each day passed. InFED We Trustis a breathtaking and singularly perceptive look at a historic episode in American and global economic history.
