into his impact, his brilliance and his blindspots, I highly recommend this symposium of essays by a handful of his former clerks (myself included).

These obits barely skim the surface of what Posner a transformative voice on the bench and off. The year that I spent clerking for him will always remain one of the most rewarding intellectual experiences of my life. If you want to dive deeper... 1/2

@NickTimiraos nails it. Tuesday's result is the best news for Fed independence since SCOTUS decided Cook. Trump now has little to gain from removing any governor, and Warsh has far less need to appease Trump.

Outstanding reporting on the foreseeable and devastating impact of the USAID cuts on one community in Kenya.
Recklessness embodied.

Maybe our food shouldn't go through such long and complex supply chains that we can't figure out what's making us ill?

I'm looking forward to testifying tomorrow. The Federal Home Loan Banks are some of the most systemically significant and least understood financial institutions in the country. It's great to see them getting some attention.

Will today be the day we hear from SCOTUS on when a president can fire a Fed Governor?

[Kate Judge @ProfKateJudge]

Banks have no legal obligation to provide anyone a bank account. Maybe they should. But they don't.

Very impressed with Gen Z's approach to savings and retirement.

"[T]he observed positive association between food insecurity and overall consumer pessimism, together with the increase in the incidence of food insecurity... point to a potential explanation for the unusually low recent levels of consumer sentiment..."

As Kevin Warsh takes the helm at the Fed, BWC Member @ProfKateJudge and Mickey D. Levy make the case in @WSJ for why the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks are essential to central bank independence, accountability, and credibility. Read the full piece: https://t.co/OwI7hJuXoB

Guys…I wrote a book.

If you like my work to pull back the curtain on how companies like Google, Delta, Instacart, & more are deploying new technologies to empty your wallet, then you’re not going to want to miss it.

This book will send shivers down CEOs’ spines. The mere mention of this book has already caused at least one K-Street lobbyist to blurt out “Oh shit!” in polite company.

It is deeply researched, indignant, but also hopeful. And I think you’re really going to like it.

Preorder it now (link below) so you don’t miss it in September.

From @WSJopinion: A key to the Fed’s independence is its 12 regional banks. Kevin Warsh should appreciate the benefits of the central bank’s federalist structure, write @ProfKateJudge and Mickey D. Levy

A core question as Warsh takes the helm is whether the Fed can remain independent of the president. One of the most important leading indicators may be how Warsh approaches the Reserve Banks. In today's WSJ, Mickey Levy and I explain why.

Yesterday, I had the great honour to deliver the 5th Charles Goodhart lecture @FMG_LSE. Charles has left his intellectual footprint on many of us, and my speech was intended to honour his legacy. 1/15

Powell today: "After my term as chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined. .. I had long planned to be retiring. And the things that have happened in really, the last 3 months have, I think, left me no choice but to stay.."

“That’s the appropriate legal understanding.”

NEC Director Kevin Hassett tells Bloomberg’s @SalehaMohsin he agrees with Fed Chair Jay Powell’s view that the law “calls for” him to stay on as the Fed’s acting leader if a successor isn’t confirmed by May 15.

This is bad news for banks and bad news for the economy.

Requiring proof of citizenship makes it harder for anyone--including US citizens--to access banking services. Creating barriers to financial inclusion is just bad policy.
