In \u003ci\u003eOrigins of the Federal Reserve System\u003c\/i\u003e, James Livingston approaches this controversial topic from a fresh perspective, asking how, during this era, a \"new order of corporation men\" made itself the preeminent source of knowledge on all significant economic issues and thereby changed the character of public and political discourse in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book seeks to uncover the roots of the Federal Reserve System and to explain the awakening and articulation of class consciousness among America's urban elite, two phenomena that its author sees as inseparable. According to Livingston, the movement for banking and monetary reform that led to the creation of the Federal Reserve System played an important role in the general transition from entrepreneurial to corporate capitalism: it was during this struggle for reform that a group of business leaders first emerged as a new corporate social class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary account of the social, cultural, and intellectual\u003ci\u003e Origins of the Federal Reserve System\u003c\/i\u003e offers both a discussion of the sources of modern public policy and a persuasive study of upper-class formation in the United States. The book will interest a wide audience of historians, economists, political scientists, sociologists, and others who wish to understand the rise of America's corporate elite, the class that has played a large-if not dominant-role in 20thcentury America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Livingston is Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.04 x 6.62 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 07, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52304592863506,"sku":"9780801496813","price":80.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/Z2JuTEpnZVpETFVVZXdQcmNnTzhudz09.webp?v=1779958329","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/origins-of-the-federal-reserve-system-money-class-and-corporate-capitalism-1890-1913-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
