The Federal Reserve System was born out of a compromise between two primary sets of interest groups: the banking community and agrarian interests. On one side, large banks and financial institutions sought a central bank to provide stability and liquidity, while on the other, farmers and rural advocates wanted a monetary system that would support agricultural interests and provide easier access to credit. This compromise aimed to balance the needs of urban and rural economies, leading to the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
