Extra: Janet Yellen And The Era Of ‘Economic Upheaval’
The US economy has undergone massive ups and downs throughout the last two decades, and through it all, for better or for worse, Janet Yellen was one of the leaders steering America through it.
The current Treasury Secretary was also both the Federal Reserve Chair and the Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors. The only person to hold all three roles.
In his new book, ‘Yellen: The Trailblazing Economist Who Navigated an Era of Upheaval,’ The Wall Street Journal Jon Hilsenrath examines economic history through the eyes of Yellen and her husband, George Akerlof.
He discusses some of her most consequential and controversial decisions, as well as the fundamentals that motivated them. Hilsenrath also gave his thoughts on the current state of the economy and where he thinks it may go.
Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with FOX News Contributor and WSJ Senior Writer Jon Hilsenrath.
