The book progresses across three main sections, beginning with the theoretical foundations of financial regulation and the Bretton Woods era. It then analyzes key deregulation episodes, examining specific legislation and their impacts. Finally, it explores the Federal Reserve's adaptation of monetary policy tools in response to these changes. By combining primary source documents with academic research, Banking Power Shift offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between deregulation and monetary policy. It challenges the conventional narrative of deregulation as purely beneficial, advocating for a nuanced understanding to address future financial stability.
