The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") published a "collection of essays providing unique perspective on the history of the [OCC], the federal banking system, and bank supervision." The essays include "a wide range of subjects written by noted experts in law, history, economics, numismatics, and finance."
OCC Comptroller Thomas Curry remarked that:
The OCC treasures its long history because it has so much to teach us about who we are and how we arrived at the present. This collection of essays advances our understanding of the development of national banking and bank supervision, but it also offers lessons for us to consider as we face the supervisory challenges of the 21st century.
