Episode: The Federal Reserve – New Leadership, Same Landscape
Description: On Friday, the President announced Kevin Warsh as his pick for Fed Chair. Warsh has a track record of hawkishness from his previous stint as Fed governor.

That being said, he has argued more recently that the Fed should cut interest rates more aggressively.
