In Professor Ahearne's time with the Federal Reserve, and his examination of the 44 booms and busts that he looked into, can he outline the impact of actions by governments, political parties and oppositions in each of them? I do not want him to go through 44 of them, but can he give us a sense of the impact of their actions and the role they played?
