chosen: In the early 1900s, the US economy was increasingly intertwined with global commerce, trade, and banking activities. This resulted in concerns about the soundness of the nation's currency and the ability for nations to quickly convert foreign currencies into gold, necessitating actions by central banks. In 1913, the US Congress established a system of centralized, private banks which would create a more stable currency for US citizens and businesses and to make US exports more competitive in global markets. To reduce the risk associated with the gold standard, Congress allowed the Federal Reserve to set up an exchange system where dollars could be converted to gold at a fixed rate of exchange. Later in the 20th century, the Bretton Woods agreement was enacted which fixed currency exchange rates, allowing the Fed to gradually move away from the gold standard while still controlling and managing economic conditions and stability.
