References to the works of the economists and economic schools of thought are a relatively recent development in texts of reviews published by Federal Reserve System member banks. Text references in reviews were rare in the central bank’s first half-century (1914–1964) of operation. Explicit references to economists and schools of thought began appearing in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The essays in the late 1960s and early 1970s featured references to Keynes and Milton Friedman on the importance of fiscal versus monetary policy. Outstanding examples were in the reviews of New York and St. Louis banks.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
