Empathy Economics (eBook, ePUB)

Janet Yellen's Remarkable Rise to Power and Her Drive to Spread Prosperity to All

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Owen Ullmann's intimate portrait of the heart and mind of Janet Yellen is the riveting story of one of the most remarkable careers of recent times. The ultimate glass-ceiling buster, Yellen is the first person to hold all three of America's top economic policy positions. Currently Treasury Secretary (the first woman to hold the job), she has also been chair of the Federal Reserve and of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. As Ullmann vividly shows, empathy economics, the north star of Yellen's work as researcher, analyst, and policymaker stems from her early family life. Yellen has pushed back against the cold, abstract quality of a male-dominated economics profession that all too often pushes policies that benefit the already well-to-do. She has strived to remake it as a tool for shaping compassionate programs that help people find remedies for financial plights that stem from a lack of economic opportunity because of poverty, unemployment or job discrimination.
