The Aldrich-Vreeland act passed in 1908 in order to change the national banking laws of the United States. It was in response to the financial panic of 1907 and established a new entity called the National Monetary Commission. This later created the Federal Reserve through the passing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. This act is important because it changed currency law to allow national banks to issue their own currency, as well as forming bonds. It is an example of a response to currency shortage, and was the beginning of the current banking system in the United States. An important event in history, here are the one hundred most cited publications mentioning this act.
