Good for Yellen
No Good for Summers
Yellen or Summers for Fed Chair?
-
There is also the minor matter that Summers has never done anything with the Fed, aside from having a lot of lunches with Greenspan back in the Clinton days. Yellen knows her way around the place very well, having been on the research staff at Bd of Govs, on the board itself, pres of the second most important regional Fed, and now Vice Chair for some years. She is also a very cool customer who probably would not fick up in a press conference the way Bernanke just did, and as Summers has been known to do as well.
What does he offer that she does not, aside from an out-of-control ego?

^ You're an idiot. Even if Summers didn't say that, the point is that there is a public perception that he did. Therefore he will probably never have another major position in government.
Good old s**tlibs. The truth doesn't matter, only the perception of members of "historically disadvantaged groups."
