SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve. This volume examines how these operations evolved\, responding both to external forces and to one another. Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Contours Of Conflict in Africa: Economics and the Contradictions of Liberation in Southern and Central Africa
DESCRIPTION:Conflict has been central in the long and chequered history of state-making in Africa. The creation of artificial borders\, new monetary regimes and trade patterns from the 1500s occurred not without conflict and resistance amongst and between various population groups. The colonial plunder of African resources and relegation of Africans to the margins of the capitalist economy\, as well as making Africans providers of menial\, indentured/slave/unpaid/underpaid labour\, also caused conflict. The ensuing liberation wars arising from such colonial domination and change ignited fierce resistance from colonial powers. To this day\, decolonisation has existed in name as Africans continue to contend with the enduring legacies of colonial rule. Roaring among such legacies are conflicts of scarcity and inequality manifest on two parallel planes. Neocolonialism has reared its head as African countries chase economic development\, and resource distribution in regional and international institutions remains uneven\, causing enduring silent conflicts. In the case of countries in West Africa\, for example\, neocolonialism has not been silent at all\, with the blatant involvement of countries of the North in violent resource conflicts and civil wars. On a second plane is an equally dangerous legacy borne of the othering by liberation movements. A legacy that alienates the masses to create room for the supposed liberation war heroes to eat from the feeding trough. It has manifested in ethnic tensions\, authoritarian regimes\, civil and transnational wars\, and conflicts over natural resources and land. The threat to global peace due to the cyclical pattern of varied forms of scarcity and inequality breeding conflict and conflict breeding lack\, societal and moral decay\, vulnerability of mainly women and children has caused widespread intervention from international [e.g. United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU)] and regional organisations [e.g. African Union(AU)\, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)\, and Southern African Development Community (SADC)] aimed at conflict resolution\, with varying degrees of success. To decipher the contours of conflict that have influenced African history and reshaped historical narratives\, the International Studies group of the University of the Free State and the Young Scholars Initiative will host a history bootcamp in Bloemfontein\, South Africa\, from 28 to 30 October 2026. The boot camp proposes relooking at African conflicts as\, among other things\, extensions and manifestations of local and international dominance\, expressions of scarcity\, subaltern voices\, and quests for emancipation. \nWe therefore invite abstracts on the subjects listed below. However\, papers tackling interesting aspects of conflict with a particular focus on Southern and Central Africa will be welcomed.\n1. War and economic change\n2. Trade and conflict\n3. Natural resource conflict\,\n4. Conflicts arising from land and agrarian reform\n5. Regional and international organisations in African conflicts\n6. Transnational conflicts/Conflicts between states\n7. War and military technology in Africa\n8. Forced displacements\n9. Women and Children in Conflict Situations\n10. Peacekeeping\, peacebuilding and conflict resolution\n11. Personalities in African conflicts \nUpon selection of abstracts\, participants will be required to send complete draft papers following the style of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History. Final selection for attendance at the Bootcamp will be based on the quality of the draft papers. Successful papers will be published in a special issue of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History with Dr Mutale Tinamou Mazimba and Dr Geraldine Sibanda as guest editors. Successful articles and additional contributions will also be featured in an edited volume.\nEarly career scholars are PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows with less than two publications in peer-reviewed academic journals. Participation in the Bootcamps is open to non-historians\, provided that the proposed paper addresses the general theme of the Bootcamp and reflects historical methods. Participants must be based in institutions on the African continent. Limited funding is available for travel and accommodation.\nDeadline for Abstract Submission: 15 May 2026\nSubmission of selected Draft papers: 30 June 2026\nFinal selection: 30 July 2026 \nFor questions\, contact isgbootcamp3@gmail.com. \n

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:YSI Pre-conference @ 49th Annual Conference of the Federation of ASEAN Economic Associations (FAEA)
DESCRIPTION:About the Project\nThe YSI East Asia Working Group invites graduate students\, Ph.D. candidates\, and early-career researchers to apply for our Pre-Conference Workshop in Manila. The pre-conference creates an interdisciplinary\, peer-to-peer environment to investigate the economic challenges and growth trajectories of the East and Southeast Asian region. \nIn line with YSI’s goals\, we are creating a support group for young scholars working on the topic and preparing them for advancing their research and work in pluralism and scientific communication. \nThe Pre-Conference Experience: Workshop Agenda\nWe have structured that November 12 pre-conference around two highly interactive training modules: \n1. Core Workshop: Pluralism in Economics & The ASEAN Reality Mainstream\, neoclassical economic models often struggle to capture the complex institutional\, political\, and ecological realities of developing Asia. This session introduces pluralistic frameworks—ranging from Institutional and Evolutionary Economics to Post-Keynesian and Ecological Economics. We will explore how these diverse schools of thought can be applied practically to analyze the “ASEAN path” of development\, the changing role of the state in industrial policy\, and regional economic transformation. \n2. Professional Skills Workshop: Demystifying Academic Publishing & Journal Submissions For early-career researchers\, navigating the peer-review process can feel like a black box. This hands-on session covers the nuts and bolts of getting your research published in regional and international economic journals. We will discuss how to select the right journal for pluralistic research\, frame your abstract to capture editors’ attention\, decode reviewer feedback\, and avoid common structural pitfalls that lead to early rejections. \nThe Cohort Experience & Shared Housing\nCommunity building is the primary driver of this project. To maximize our working group budget and spark genuine collaboration\, all of the selected young scholars and the 2 organizers will live and work together under one roof. \nYSI is fully funding a single\, large\, centrally located group Airbnb in Manila for the entire cohort. By applying to this project\, you agree to participate in this shared housing arrangement for the nights of November 12-14. This communal setup ensures that academic debates\, peer feedback\, and networking continue naturally beyond workshop hours\, laying the foundation for long-term regional research partnerships. \nFinancial Support & Inclusions\nPlease be informed that our total project budget is subject to a strict YSI funding cap. Because we want to support as many young scholars as possible\, travel support is strictly limited to participants traveling from within our defined region. \n\n\nDefinition of the Region: For this workshop in Manila\, “the region” is defined as Southeast Asia (ASEAN member states) and neighboring East Asian countries that are a short\, affordable flight away. We cannot offer travel stipends to scholars flying from outside this region (e.g.\, Europe\, the Americas\, or Africa)\, though you are still welcome to apply if you can self-fund your travel. \n\n\nImportant Note on Funding: While we strive to support our community\, demonstrating financial need does not guarantee selection for the workshop or the receipt of a travel stipend. All applications are evaluated primarily on the strength\, relevance\, and pluralistic approach of the submitted research. \n\n\nSelected young scholars will receive: \n\n\nTravel Support: A within-region travel stipend strictly capped at a maximum of USD 200 to help offset the cost of short-haul economy flights to Manila. \n\n\nAccommodation: Fully covered stay in the shared group Airbnb for 2 nights (Check-in: Nov 12\, Check-out: Nov 14). \n\n\nMeals: Full catering during the independent Pre-Conference Workshop on November 13\, including a working lunch\, coffee breaks\, and a dedicated peer-to-peer networking group dinner. \n\n\nCore Research Themes & Questions\nWe welcome submissions that offer fresh data\, localized case studies\, or pluralistic viewpoints directly addressing the East Asia Working Group mandate. \nSuggested Themes: \n\n\nEast and Southeast Asian economic philosophy and the history of economic thought. \n\n\nFiscal and monetary policies\, and institutional coordination to support marginalized groups. \n\n\nIncome\, wealth\, and gender inequality across the region. \n\n\nRegional\, urban\, rural\, and industrial development policies. \n\n\nFormal and informal labor markets in East Asia\, including migration. \n\n\nFinancial markets\, international trade\, governance\, and corruption. \n\n\nEcology\, climate challenges\, and sustainable development. \n\n\nImportant note\nThe YSI East Asia Pre-Conference Workshop is an independent\, YSI-organized event. We are not in charge of your official application to the main 49th FAEA Annual Conference which is due on June 30\, 2026\, nor are we allowed to endorse your participation to their organizing committee. If you wish to present at the main conference on November 14\, please visit https://economicsph.org/faea49 for their official rules and deadlines. \nEligibility\n\n\nCurrent Master’s students\, Ph.D. candidates\, university instructors\, or early-career researchers (within 5 years of graduation). \n\n\nResearchers who are based in or whose work focuses heavily on East and Southeast Asian economies. \n\n\nCandidates must commit to full\, on-site participation in the Pre-Conference Workshop and the shared housing experience in Manila. \n\n\nSubmission Requirements & Application Checklist\nPlease submit your application through the YSI portal by August 15\, 2026. Ensure you have the following ready to complete the form: \n\n\nYSI Involvement & Motivation: Be prepared to state your current YSI Working Group affiliations and write a short text (max 100 words) on your motivation for joining the cohort. \n\n\nPluralism Statement: A short text (max 100 words) explaining how your research challenges conventional economic models or utilizes a pluralistic framework. \n\n\nCV/Resume: Your current Academic CV (PDF format only).

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:The Development of Economic Thought in Malawi (1964 – 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to advance research on the development of economic thought in Malawi\, with a special focus on how economic thought as a distinct intellectual field has interacted with political-economic policies since the ushering in of independence to the present period. The workshop will be anchored on the following objectives: 1) Explore the evolution of economic thought in Malawi as a distinct intellectual field from Independence to the present period; 2) Assess the dominant methodologies that have been used in the development of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi; 3) Explore the dissemination of economic thought in Malawi from Independence to the present period; 4) Critically evaluate the reception of economic thought in Malawian politics; and 5) Establish the relationship between economic thought and political-economic policies from Independence to the present period. The organisers will select 1o young scholars\, including Masters students\, PhD candidates\, and postdoctoral fellows whose research addresses the development of economic thought in Malawi\, the dissemination of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi from Independence to the present period\, the reception of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawian politics\, and the relationship between economic thought and political-economic policies from Independence to the present period. The two-day workshop will start with established scholars presenting their completed or ongoing research on the development of economic thought in Malawi\, the dominant methodologies that have been used\, and how economic thought as an intellectual enterprise has been disseminated and received\, and how it has influence political-economic policies in Malawi. Young scholars will have a chance to engage with the senior scholars’ presentations and even interrogate the methodologies that have hitherto characterised the development of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi. On the second day\, young scholars will present their completed or ongoing research on this topic\, highlighting the challenges with previous methodologies and methods of disseminations\, the gaps between economic thought and political-economic policies\, and how current and future research methodologies and dissemination practices can help bridge the gap between theory and praxis. The young scholars will have the chance of receiving critical feedback from the senior scholars and their peers. \nFor more information or inquiries\, get in touch with Dr Tanaka Chidora @ tchidora@unima.ac.mw or Dr Peter Uledi @ peteruledy@gmail.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Circulation of Economic Ideas in the Iberian World (18th–20th Centuries)
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will take place at the University of Seville in Seville\, Spain on December 2\, 2026\, the day before the XIII Meeting of the Iberian Association for the History of Economic Thought. In partnership with the Latin American Association of History of Economic Thought (ALAHPE) and the Iberian Association of History of Economic Thought (AIHPE)\, this project seeks to advance research on the production\, circulation\, and reception of economic ideas in the Iberian world\, with particular attention to the historical connections between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. To this end\, we propose a transdisciplinary approach centered on the relationship between the dissemination of economic knowledge and the exercise of political power. The aim of this proposal is to explore: (1) how certain ideas become consolidated as dominant approaches in the theoretical and political debates of different regions; (2) how they connect with economic policy\, institutions\, governments\, elites\, and power groups; (3) how they are disseminated; (4) how they are received\, reinterpreted\, adapted\, or imposed in territories with autochthonous social\, cultural\, and institutional characteristics\, and (5) how those ideas\, in turn\, reverberate within and reshape these contexts. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for participants to engage with new topics\, perspectives\, methods\, and insights\, while fostering long-term intellectual exchange among scholars from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. \n  \nParticipants  \nThe organizers will select five young scholars\, including Master’s students\, PhD candidates\, and postdoctoral fellows whose research addresses the History of Economic Thought in Latin America or the Iberian Peninsula\, the dissemination of economic ideas to or from either region\, or the intellectual and political connections between the two. Participants will have the opportunity to deliver presentations of their research projects or working papers and receive feedback from senior scholars. \nAccommodation for the workshop and the first day of XIII AIHPE Meeting (3 Dec.) will be provided free of charge\, and funding to cover the transportation costs of participants will also be available on a case by-case-basis—depending on the country of residence. \n  \nHow to apply \nIf you are interested in attending the workshop\, you should: \n\nbe a young scholar (Master and PhD students\, post-docs\, and early career scholars);\nbe a member of the YSI History of Economic Thought Working Group\nattend the XIII Meeting of the Iberian Association for the History of Economic Thought.\nsubmit a brief bio (max 150 words) and a short abstract (max 300 words ) of your research to this form by June 30. Note that applying to the workshop and applying to the conference are separate procedures.\nProposals can be sent in Spanish\, Portuguese or English.\n\nApplicants will receive a response by the end of July at the latest.

These dynamics raise urgent questions about emerging growth pathways\, the distribution of risk across households\, firms\, and territories\, and the institutional and fiscal capacities required for social protection\, climate resilience\, and inclusive development. In this context\, the Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference (SAERD) is designed to be both supportive and rigorous for young scholars from the region and around the world. We welcome early-stage work and fully developed papers\, and we prioritise meaningful feedback through discussant-led sessions and moderated discussion. SAERD aims to strengthen Cambodia as one of the centres of regional research convening\, where young and senior scholars can meet on equal intellectual ground\, learn from disagreement\, and build collegial and solidarity-based research networks. \n  \nThemes \nSubmissions may address (but are not limited to) the following themes: \n\nEconomic growth\, inequality\, and inclusion\nSocial protection\, welfare systems\, and human development\nPublic finance\, budgeting\, expenditure quality\, and fiscal sustainability\nGovernance\, institutions\, accountability\, and state capacity\nMonitoring & evaluation (M&E)\, performance management\, and public sector reform\nSustainability\, ecology\, natural resource governance\, and climate resilience\nClimate finance\, green budgeting\, and just transitions\nDigital transformation\, innovation\, automation\, and public services\nFood security\, agrarian transformation\, and rural livelihoods\nUrban and regional economics; infrastructure and spatial change\nLabour economics\, gender\, care\, and welfare regimes\nRegional integration\, trade\, and global uncertainty\nHistory of economic thought\, economic history\, and path dependency\nInterdisciplinary and pluralist approaches in economic analysis\n\n  \n Conference format\nThe conference will feature plenary sessions with invited senior scholars and parallel paper sessions for young scholars.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.
