In "Keeping At It," the remarkable Paul A. Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, takes us on an extraordinary journey through the corridors of power and the battlegrounds of economic policy, where he waged and won his war against the rampant inflation of the late 20th century. With the deftness of a master storyteller, Volcker recounts his unparalleled career spanning six presidential administrations, from the chaos of post-war America to the complexities of the modern global economy. His narrative is not merely a chronicle of financial policymaking but a testament to the enduring values of integrity and public service. Through the lens of his own experiences, Volcker presents a vivid panorama of American life and governance since World War II, offering profound insights into the evolution of the economy and the role of the Federal Reserve. His tales are sprinkled with wit, humor, and the wisdom of a sage, drawing readers into the heart of the crises that have defined our era. Yet, beyond the high stakes of international finance and politics, Volcker reveals his personal beacon of ethical governance and stability, inspired by the principled leadership of his father. "Keeping At It" is not just the story of a central banker but a beacon of hope and resilience, urging us toward a future anchored in stability, sound finance, and good government.

That “temporary” arrangement essentially remains in place fifty years later. The world has been operating without an agreed monetary standard, with varying degrees of “floating” and “fixing,” and with the dollar still the global reserve currency.
