Few books are stored in the basement of the library, which opened in 1939 and contains collections on economics, government, and political science, along with the Environmental Science and Public Policy Archives.

In the past, particularly as CEA chair, Bernanke has supported fiscal policies that we strongly oppose, specifically further Bush tax cuts...
