The Panic of 1907 and the National Monetary Commission (HOM 30-A)
History of Money, Lecture 30, Pt. A: In October 1907 another financial panic hit Wall Street; banker opinion, led by J. P. Morgan and associates, together with Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg, and other leaders in the banking industry, coalesced behind the idea of "banking reform," i.e., a central bank, to replace the National Banking System. Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island, a Republican and head of the Senate Finance Committee, ran a committee from 1908 to 1910 to investigate the currency question. It concluded with a secret meeting at the Jekyll Island Club in Georgia, which produced the Aldrich Plan, the forerunner to the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.
