Steven E. Aschheim reviews Time’s Echo: The Second World War, The Holocaust, and the Music of Remembrance by Jeremy Eichler.

A pioneering economist and central banker, he shaped global financial policy, guided nations through crises, and mentored a generation of leaders. From the IMF and World Bank to Israel’s central bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve, his steady leadership left lasting impact. Remembered for vision, resilience, and warmth, his legacy endures in the strength of economies and the lives of those he influenced.
