A debate was held on the usefulness of the Federal Reserve in light of the recent economic downturn. Participating in the debate were Warren Coats and John Fund, who defended reforming the Federal Reserve, vs. Gene Epstein and Thomas Woods, who argued for abolishing it. Joe Bradley moderated the debate “Fed Up with the Fed: Should We Abolish?”

His most recent book is One Currency for Bosnia: Creating the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Jameson Books; August 30, 2007).

John Fund, who was a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board from 1995 to 2001, writes the weekly “On the Trail” column for OpinionJournal.com. He is the author of Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy (Encounter Books; Revised edition July 21, 2008).
