The Great Contraction, 1929-1933 by Milton Friedman
Addresses the central economic event of the century, the Great Depression. This book argues that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and ameliorating banking panics.
