Anna Jacobson Schwartz was an American economist who worked at the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York City and a writer for the New York Times. Paul Krugman once said that Schwartz is, "one of the world's greatest monetary scholars."[1]
Schwartz collaborated with Milton Friedman on A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960, which was published in 1963.[2] This book placed the blame for the Great Depression at the door of the Federal Reserve System. She was also president of the Western Economic Association International in 1988.[3]
Schwartz was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2013.
