Federal Reserve Act origins and structure described
The federal reserve act of 1913 established a seven member Federal Reserve Board plus twelve regional banks each with capital of at least four million dollars. It created a decentralized system requiring member banks to subscribe stock and set regional boards. The board supervises the system and governs discounting powers, while the act aims for elastic currency and public control of banking.
