Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
The Banking Act of 1935 restructured the Federal Reserve System, replacing the Federal Reserve Board with a Board of Governors of seven presidentially appointed members, creating the Federal Open Market Committee in its modern form, and centralizing reserve requirement and discount-rate authority in Washington. The statute consolidated monetary policy decision-making away from the regional Reserve Banks and established the institutional architecture under which the Fed has operated ever since.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
