The article focuses on the role of monetary policy in economic stabilization in the U.S. during the 1950s and the politics of monetary policy making. The author describes the interrelations between monetary, fiscal and debt policy and how they all contribute to economic stability. He advocates a cooperative working arrangement between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, as they balance monetary policy and the public debt. Instead of trying to separate monetary and debt policy, he feels they need to be used together, strategically, to ensure continued economic growth.
