Question:
The current Central Bank of the United States is the Federal Reserve founded in 1913.
Your supervisor came into the office this morning very upset. He informs you that he attended a meeting the previous evening where he learned that the Federal Reserve was organized, illegally, through a conspiracy of private citizens; many included rich industrialists from Europe. He also discovered that the sole purpose of the Federal Reserve is to make money for these rich industrialists. He asks you to research the Federal Reserve and answer three questions:
1. Is the Federal Reserve a legal entity?
2. What influence has it had on financial markets, especially this last year?
3. Would the country be better off without a Federal Reserve?
Respond with a four to 5 paragraphs memo, in business format.
Follow up with a continuing dialog this week on whether or not the Federal Reserve behaves in a socially responsible manner, and whether or not it should be disbanded.
