That’s the title of a paper I’m writing for this year’s Cato Monetary Conference (the subtitle is “How the Federal Reserve Misrepresents Monetary History”). For it, I’d be very grateful to anyone who can point me to examples (the more egregious the better) of untrue or misleading statements regarding U.S. monetary history in general, and the Fed’s performance in particular, in official Fed publications or in lectures and speeches by Federal Reserve officials.
