Pros of the Fed:

• Stabilizes banking via lender of last resort (prevents panics).
• Manages money supply, smoothing economic cycles.
• Sets uniform monetary policy for national economy.

Cons (from taskmaster4450 post):

• Politicized independence lost (e.g., Roosevelt era).
• Dual mandate (inflation/unemployment) irrational for markets/lending.
• Single national rate ignores regional differences—e.g., Atlanta vs. Dallas economies can't adjust capital flow separately.
• Policies fail: lowers rates → banks tighten lending anyway.
