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.

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.
Wall Street Journal Opinion@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 on.wsj.com/4wCeREv

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.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says he supports Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s plan to stay on at the central bank’s helm on a temporary basis if a successor hasn’t been confirmed by the Senate bloom.bg/4cL4ncL

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. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

As a Michigan sports fan, I feel like I’m stumbling through a surreal fever dream. It’s as if the universe has been transformed into some sort of simulation designed to see how much pleasure one man can tolerate. It wasn’t enough to win two national titles in the two major sports in such short succession. Somehow the championships were won in a manner that exacted maximum rage from rival fanbases. It’s one thing to just win a vanilla championship that fades with time only to be one of many footnotes of a bygone era. It’s another to have your successes cemented in the heads of so many haters, whose anger only serves to reanimate the legacy over and over again. Gore Vidal once said “it’s not enough to win, others must lose” and my petty ass wishes we could turn that into a maize and blue banner to hang in the rafters. Hail hail to Michigan and also to the haters.

The idea of "apolitical" independent institutions always runs up against the fact that regulation is political. This thread is a good argument for placing bank regulation fully under exec branch control in the Treasury. The Fed should focus exclusively on monetary policy.
Kate Judge@ProfKateJudge

I generally respect Powell but his answer here cannot be reconciled with his legacy. His track record on financial regulation virtually guarantees that no Democratic president will ever again be able to re-nominate a Republican appointed Fed Chair. 1/3

Democrats have taken notice. Powell will forever be the poster child for why a Democratic president should not re-appoint a Republican Fed Chair no matter how effective he has been on monetary policy. 3/3

Powell owes his current term as Chair to Biden. Yet he failed to provide robust support for the Biden-era effort to increase capital requirements. And he is now helping to shepherd through the most comprehensive deregulatory push since the GFC. 2/3

Nick Timiraos@NickTimiraos

A question about the role of the vice chair for supervision led Powell to lay out his philosophy on how a Fed chair should operate more broadly (offered by way of explaining why he didn't want to get too involved in regulatory fights, which have become more partisan): "I like to think that the chair should always be someone who is working without regard to political [considerations] and should be therefore a person who can be reappointed by either side. That's always been the case.... and I think it's a good test of the Fed's nonpartisanship that your appeal is really bipartisan."
