The beautiful thing about Jeanna Smialek's new book is that its core thesis has been tested and proven out in unbelievably prescient ways in just the 6 weeks since it came out. Review⁠ it!! It's a book for you Fed Watchers - and your parents! Seriously! @JeannaSmialek & @StevenKelly49 & @KalebNygaard

A conversation with WSJ reporter, Jon Hilsenrath, about his book on the love story of Janet and George and the way they broke through in the economics field and in policy. I enjoyed this conversation as much as I loved the book. Even if you think you know Yellen's story - this podcast will show a depth and insight that I promise will delightfully surprise you!

There's one person who has thought more about the philosophical and economic principles undergirding the Federal Reserve, central banks, and independent agencies - Paul Tucker. In his new book, Global Discord Values and Power in a Fractured World Order, Paul takes a step back to consider international organizations, and how their institutional design and legitimacy hold in a changing global power dynamic.  Carey Mott, from the Yale Program on Financial Stability, joins me as cohost in this interview with Paul.  Global Discord (new book) Unelected Power (first book) Events: Nov 22, 2022, AEI (recording available) Nov 28, 2022, UChicago Jan 17, 2023, LSE
