Every decision made by the Federal Reserve instantly grabs headlines, yet it is one of the least understood of our public institutions. In this monumental history Allan H. Meltzer, one of the world's leading economists, tells the story of the Federal Reserve and the people who shaped it, from its founding in 1913 through the Treasury-Federal Reserve Accord of 1951. The first of two volumes, and including a foreword by Alan Greenspan, Meltzer's work has been acknowledged as one of the most important studies of an institution with a truly global impact.

"Concise, potent, poetic messages of inspiration, direction, and encouragement for you to embrace rest and reflection as a deep spiritual practice"-- Concise, potent, poetic messages of inspiration, direction, and encouragement for you to embrace rest and reflection as a deep spiritual practice.In this compelling follow-up to her popular book, Pause, Rest, Be, Octavia F. Raheem offers succinct, gem-like teachings that invite us to find ways to embrace rest in our daily lives. Raheem posits that the most sustainable future is a well-rested one, and that rest isnt a luxuryit is a necessary spiritual practice available to us all. Raheem uses personal reflection, and creative, evocative sutras (or, just as aptly, aphorisms, threads, psalms, or proverbs) and inquiry to guide us toward a more well-rested present and future. The forty sutras fall into three categories: Rest as a place of refuge from the storms of life Rest as a place to remember who you are Rest as a place of revelation Rest Is Sacred invites the reader to reflect on our relationship to the grind culture and begin to see rest as a contemplative practice and way of life.
