This book shows that important continuities in central bankers' behavior - response to incentives, desire for financial stability, and susceptibility to government pressures - go a long way toward understanding them, from their beginings in the Bank of England in 1694 and the first Bank of the United States in 1791, to the present Bank and Federal Reserve.
