"I've frequently been asked by readers for a primer of sorts about the Federal Reserve and monetary policy. I haven't been able to come up with a suitable recommendation -- until the arrival of 'Unlocking the Secrets of the Fed'.... What's refreshing is that the book doesn't dwell on the irrelevancies that make up the typical economics text.... Instead, Jones offers eminently practical advice on how to be a successful Fed watcher." (Barron's, Ocxtober 7, 2002)
