Whip open your wallets, because no one affects your paycheck like this man. We just sat down with Austan Goolsbee — President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. He’s a Macarthur Genius, former Chair of Obama’s Economic Advisors, and the coolest economist we know: Picture Ted Lasso meets Paul Volcker… He’s the Maestro of our Money Supply, and he guided the economy through the ‘08 financial crisis and today’s Inflation Situation.So Auston spilled the money beans for us: The 2009 phone call with the President that was the worst financial briefing since the Great Depression… What it’s like in the room when he votes to change interest rates (spoiler: The table is huuuuge)... How he’d grade outgoing Fed Chair J-Poww… and why he’s not a “Dove” or a “Hawk” — He’s a “Data Dog.”If you want to know when you can finally afford buy a house, then Austan Goolsbee has the insights on the forces affecting that — And he makes dropping data sound as smooth as a beer commercial.CHAPTERS:Intro: Austan Goolsbee Joins TBOYObama's "Worst Briefing Since 1932" — Goolsbee On The 2009 Financial CrisisPaul Volcker's One Rule For Every Crisis: Don't Blow Your CredibilityThe 31% Housing Rule: Why Most Americans Are At Foreclosure RiskWhy Housing Has Compounded 5% A Year For 25 YearsDid Tariffs Cause Inflation?
