Research and select at least four major moments in U.S. history when the Federal Reserve changed monetary policy to respond to economic challenges.
Your timeline must cover the time period from 1950 to the present to show long-term impacts.
For each event, include:
The year and a brief description of the economic situation (inflation, unemployment, growth conditions)
The monetary policy decision made (e.g., raising interest rates, cutting rates, open market operations)
The short-term and long-term effects on inflation, employment, and economic growth
One image, symbol, or icon representing that moment (for example: rising prices for inflation, a factory for job growth)
Conclude your timeline with a short written reflection explaining how the Federal Reserve balances its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment when making these decisions.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:
What four major monetary policy decisions did you choose to highlight, and what were the main economic conditions during each period?
What actions did the Federal Reserve take in each of these moments, and how did they change the money supply?
How did each decision affect inflation levels in the short term and long term?
How did each decision affect the unemployment rate and overall job growth?
In your reflection, how do you think the Federal Reserve should balance its dual mandate when inflation and unemployment are both high at the same time?
