Volcker: The Triumph of Persistence – An Evening with William Silber
Noted scholar and finance expert, NYU Stern Professor William Silber draws on hours of candid personal interviews and complete access to Volcker’s personal papers to render dramatic behind-the-scenes accounts from former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker’s career at the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve: secret negotiations with European ministers; confrontations with the White House; crisis conferences with Wall Street titans, and even tense boardroom rebellions within the Fed itself. Filled with frank commentary from Volcker himself – including why he was personally irked with the “Volcker Rule” label – this will be the definitive account of Volcker’s indispensable role in American economic history.
