would show up either in inflation or asset bubbles.
Warsh writes regular essays, op-eds, gives interviews where he's pointing out what he thinks are the problems with the policies the Fed is pursuing.
Well, I talked to somebody who spoke with the president right as Trump was making that decision.
And this was somebody who said, I think you should pick Kevin Warsh.
And the president said, well, I want somebody who favors low interest rates.
So I think...
One way to read this is to say Trump saw the long track record, the written record that Warsh had published and said, well, maybe this guy doesn't actually want lower interest rates.
He also told people he thought Warsh looked too young.
Warsh is 17 years younger than Powell, the silver-haired former private equity investor.
And so even though Walsh was very well positioned, Trump saw Powell, saw somebody who had supported the lower interest rate policies of the previous years, and so he went with Powell.
Warsh flipped and said the Fed didn't need to raise interest rates anymore.
He began to be more critical of the policies Powell pursued.
And that was especially true in 2021 when inflation became a more evident problem.
Warsh again said you shouldn't be purchasing all these securities.
You're going to drive up inflation.
And he was right.
Kevin Warsh hasn't spoken publicly, to my knowledge, since an appearance on Fox News at the end of October when he said, yes, the Fed should cut interest rates.
He had an opinion piece in our pages in November where he said the economy was poised to boom if only the Fed had better leadership.
A lot of analysts expect Warsh will push for some interest rate cuts once he takes over as Fed chair.
Warsh has criticized the models and the framework that the Fed uses.
