President Obama should nominate Janet Yellin as the next Chairman, Federal Reserve Board.
She would be the first woman Chairman in the male-dominated world of the Federal Reserve.
She has the intellectual strength and practical experience in economic policy:
- Yellin currently serves as The Fed's Vice Chairwoman.
- Past President and CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, (2004-2007)
-Professor Emerita at Berkeley's Haas School of Business,
-Head of the White House Council of Economic Advisors under President Bill Clinton.
As Fed Chair she will give more weight to joblessness than to inflation, which will promote a stronger domestic economy
Yellin, respected by Congress and even by her ideological foes, embodies great intellect, rational clarity and strong leadership.
