"By February 2020, the U.S. economic expansion had become the longest on record. One month later, the public health battle against a deadly virus had pushed the economy into the equivalent of a medically induced coma. Nick Timiraos...draws on extensive interviews to detail the...the largest, swiftest U.S. economic policy response since World War II. Trillion dollar triage goes inside the Federal Reserve...to chronicle how its plainspoken chairman, Jay Powell, unleashed an unprecedented monetary barrage to keep the economy on life support"-- Provided by publisher. |
