Odd Lots · Adam Posen Thinks Things Could Get Very 'Messy' for the Fed · 1 Sep 2026 podcast

has much more information on a lot of things than we do.

we have a moral hazard issue of not spoon feeding the markets.

So I think the communications committee is probably where we're gonna get the biggest surprise.

I mean, as someone whose main job is to hire, develop, and retain talent.

Yeah.

Um, I think about this a lot.

And it is as I think you applied, Joe, I mean I think it's not unprecedented.

So during the internet boom

uh when Amazon was first coming up and Google was first coming up, they hired economists.

Um they were hiring them more

to be useful like Amazon's pricing model useful in terms of internal prices.

Right.

But they also were there to talk about policy and help explain

why the technology was good and what kinds of regulations they wanted and didn't want.

And that's that's normal.

I mean that that's okay.
