Anna Schwartz’s scholarship and work with Milton Friedman were essential to the development of monetarism, which in turn prescribes the policies by which Reagan and Thatcher conquered inflation in the 1980s and which remain the foundation for the operation of the Fed and other central banks. Quite literally, Anna Schwartz’s work strengthened the US and world economies and enhanced the value of the dollars in your wallet and the worth of your labor. Were Andrew Hamilton able to weigh in, I think that he would endorse Ana Schwartz for the honor of her portrait on the twenty dollar bill.
