During the recent Great Recession, U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke applied lessons learned from the Great Depression of the 1930s in which government policies failed to bring the U.S. and the world out of an epic economic slump. Under Bernanke’s leadership, the Federal Reserve acted aggressively to stem the downturn that began in the summer of 2008. The objective of this written assignment is to gain a greater understanding of the central bank’s role in managing the economy and, specifically, the actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve System to combat the Great Recession.
