Function of the Federal Reserve System
As you have read in previous chapters, the
supply of money in a system has a great deal to
do with whether or not the economy will grow.
The actions taken by a government to control its
money supply will determine how much that
dollar in your pocket is worth. Every day, the
value of a dollar changes. Prices and interest
rates go up and down. The Federal Reserve
System is the means for making sure the value
of the dollar remains stable and your savings are
protected.
