Professor Desmond King’s ‘Fed Power’ subject of major review symposium

The American Political Science Association (APSA) is to make Fed Power: How Finance Wins by Lawrence Jacobs and Nuffield’s Desmond King the subject of a major review symposium in its journal, Perspectives on Politics.

The book, which critically examines the agency and role of the Federal Reserve, is described as “an important step forward for the social sciences” by the four leading academics – Jacqui True (Monash University, Australia), Elisabeth Prügl (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva), Leo Panitch (York University, Canada) and Fred L. Block (University of California, Davis) – who contributed to the review symposium.

For more information on Fed Power, see the DPIR’s short summary of the book.

The full review can be found on Cambridge Core.
