Founded out of the vision of Alexander Hamilton, the first Bank of the United States exerted a significant stabilizing influence over the economy of the early nation through its positions as both the largest commercial bank in the country and the U.S. government’s bank. Dr. Andrew Hill of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia will discuss the Constitutional importance of the debate over the First Bank’s founding and the lessons to be learned from the financial bubble that emerged at the initial public offering of the First Bank’s stock. He will share primary source materials that show the extent to which the first Bank of the United States served as the major financial intermediary of the period.| Program Length | 60 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
