Credit Policies of the Federal Reserve System

The author wishes to thank the many scholars and public officials both in America and Europe who have assisted him in the work of preparing this book. It would make too cumbersome a list to mention them all, and it would seem invidious to make mention only of certain ones. All have contributed generously to his knowledge of the facts and his understanding of the significance of those facts. He can only hope that in not too many cases will they be dissatisfied with the interpretations which he has placed upon the matters dealt with.
