1 小时 1 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings,
where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past,
present, and future.
I am your host, David Beckworth,
a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is James Klaus.
Jim is a fellow at the Anderson Institute for Economics and Finance and a longtime veteran of the Federal Reserve System,
including serving as the Deputy Director of the Monetary Affairs Division and the FOMC Secretariat.
Jim joins us today to discuss his time at the Fed as well as some of his recent work.
Jim, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me, David.
Well, it's great to have you on.
I followed you from a distance,
and I was real excited to learn that you would be willing to join us.
You have just stepped down from the Federal Reserve.
And I have to say, you have an amazing career, 36 years at the Fed.
A year at Treasury, managing our debt, and four years in the Army.
You are a true American hero.
You know, some American heroes wear camouflage, black jackets, and carry rifles.
