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 Beckwourth, a senior research fellow at the Mercator center at George Mason University.
And I'm glad you decided to join us.
Thank you to everyone for coming out to this live recording.
We have a very special guest, President Mary Daley, with us.
Not only is she the president and CEO of the San Francisco Fed, she is a voting member of the FOMC.
That's why all these fun folks are here with us today.
She also is a 28 year veteran of the federal reserve system.
So she brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and insights to some of the questions we want to talk about today.
So thank you for joining us.
It's my pleasure.
And it's nice to be live.
Well, it's great to have you here, and I'm excited to get into discussing monetary policy, Fed policy, with you.
Before we do that, though, you have an amazing journey.
Your story, you've overcome a lot.
I'll just throw out a few quick facts.
You dropped out of high school, you worked retail paycheck to paycheck.
You went back and got your GED, you got a PhD, and here you are, a Fed president.
So that's quite a story.
And there's a lot to learn from that, lessons you could probably share with us.
