Discussion 1
Federal Reserve Bank Policy during the 2007-2008
Recession
|
From 2007-2010, the Federal
Reserve Bank (the Fed) used many practices that had never before been seen from
the central bank of the United States.
Discuss the some of the actions
that the Fed took during this period. Such as:
- How the Federal Reserve’s lending practices changed
during this period.
- What did the Federal Reserve do to support firms
deemed “too big to fail.”
Do you believe these actions
were necessary to avoid a collapse in the financial system? Support your
opinion with information from the textbook or external source(s).
