Session 3—The Founding of the Fed from an International Perspective

"Where It All Began: Lending of Last Resort and the Making of Sterling as the Leading International Currency in the 1860s"

This session will use archival material from the Bank of England to evaluate the actual performance of the London market in acceptances and to what extent this market resembled the descriptions that were available to the founders of the Federal Reserve.
