Hoover fellows participated in a symposium that used as background the Federal Reserve’s performance leading up to and during the financial crisis of 2007–8, the Great Recession of 2007–9, and the current slow recovery.

The discussion began with presentations by George Shultz, the Thomas W. and Susan B. Ford Distinguished Fellow; Michael Bordo, national fellow 2011–12; Allan Meltzer, distinguished visiting fellow; and John Taylor, the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics, all at the Hoover Institution. The presentations and the discussion that accompanied them stressed four salient themes: (1) the importance of the Fed having as its sole mandate maintaining long-run price stability;(2) the imperative of having the Fed follow a credible and enforceable rule to maintain price stability; (3) the importance of the Fed’s implementing this rule being accountable to Congress; (4) the importance of restoring the Fed’s independence from the fiscal authorities as soon as possible.
