1 小时 9 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 Donald Cohn.
Don is a 40-year veteran of the Federal Reserve System and a senior fellow at Brookings Institution.
He joins us today to discuss recent developments at the Fed, as well as his reflections on Alan Greenspan.
Don, welcome back to the program.
Great to be with you again, David.
It's great to have you here.
As I mentioned, you're a 40-year veteran.
You previously were on the show, and I listened to it recently preparing for this one, and it's a fantastic episode.
So I encourage all the listeners out there to go back and check it out.
We spent a lot of time on your career.
Among other things, we talked about how you actually started at the Kansas City Fed from 1970 to 75. That's right.
And one of my colleagues here...
Tom Honig was one of your colleagues back in the day.
And I think Tom and Tom, we had a basketball game after work on the ninth floor, I think it was.
Tom claims I injured him with an elbow in his ribs or something.
But yeah, so we were colleagues there.
