| Why it’s on the list | The memoir Paul Volcker published at ninety-one, running from the Treasury and the collapse of Bretton Woods to the Fed chairmanship in which he broke 1970s inflation with interest rates that caused a deep recession and made him hated before he was credited. Its conviction is in the subtitle: sound money and competent, non-captured public institutions are the same project, and the second is the harder half. |
Where I heard about it
- Tyler Cosgrove (@tylercosgrove) — on his list of 25 books he offered to send to Jared Kushner (October 2025).
Connections
- Banking — the Fed chairmanship and the later rule that carries his name.
- Regulation — his post-crisis work and the book’s case for capable supervision.
- Government — the “good government” half of the subtitle, and the half Volcker thought was losing.
- Debt — the fiscal backdrop to the inflation he was fighting.
- Economic History — the section of the corpus this belongs to.
