Controlling Credit | Session 1

This is the first of two sessions to read and discuss Eric Monnet's "Controlling Credit: Central Banking and the Planned Economy in Postwar France." Controlling Credit studies how the Banque de France used credit policy in the post-World War II era to influence the economy at a time when interest rates were not the leading policy instrument.

For this first session we will cover the introduction and the part 1 of the book.
