52 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 with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Rich Clarida.
Rich is a well-known academic, and from 2018 to 2022,
he was the vice chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
He is currently a professor of economics at Columbia University and a managing director at PIMCO.
Rich joins us today to help us navigate and think through the challenges that lie ahead
for the Fed in these turbulent times.
Rich, welcome back to the program.
I'm looking forward to it.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Now, we were talking before the show got started how you 've actually
been a part of this podcast in some form since its inception.
So I want to tell this story to the listeners and to you, Rich.
So I actually started the podcast back in 2016, so a decade ago.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
