Follow on Google News | New Book Highlights the Federal Reserve Bank of BostonLocal author tells the story using collection of vintage images
Vintage images throughout the book show how the Boston Fed has played a prominent role in providing stability and strength to the region, from the outbreak of World War I through the technological challenges of Y2K and the dark days following the attacks on September 11, 2001. By focusing on the people who made the Boston Fed a respected organization and the impact the bank has had on the city of Boston and its development, the book will allow readers to see a behind-the-scenes view of the bank. Author Diane Shephard shares how beyond its financial role, the Boston Fed is also the story of Boston and all of New England. The transformation of the local economy, the changing face of the area’s population and workforce, the march of technology, the emerging roles of women and minorities—all are reflected in the history of the bank, its employees, and the people and institutions that it serves. As the Fed approaches its centennial year, it looks back upon an era of our nation’s history unprecedented in both its challenges and triumphs.
