The Federal Reserve System controls the nation's money supply using tools like open market operations, reserve requirements, and the discount rate. These actions influence economic factors such as inflation and growth. Since leaving the gold standard in 1971, the U.S. dollar has become a fiat currency and remains the dominant currency in global trade, affecting both domestic and international economic policies.
