Abstract
SECRETS OF THE TEMPLE: HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE RUNS THE COUNTRY by William Greider New York: Simon and Schuster, 1987. 798 pp., $24.95 Greider pursues the theme that the Federal Reserve System promotes the interests of Wall Street—banks and bondholders—over those of Main Street—the rest of society. The wealth of fascinating observations he makes are, unfortunately, organized by a 1950s‐style Keynesianism and a faith in unlimited, majoritarian democracy. Neither of these beliefs are at all adequate for remedying the deficiencies of political control of the money supply, which is the real problem Greider has uncovered.Keywords
