Big moment for Kevin Warsh- he's been wanting to come back to the Federal Reserve for years and, in particular, become Fed chair.
Warsh did't get the job during President Trump's first term when he was overlooked for Jerome Powell. He was just sworn in to become the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Here's how he and his allies made a push for a job Warsh has been gunning to have.

Kevin Warsh’s ascension to the top of the world’s most powerful central bank marks the culmination of a twisting professional and ideological odyssey, as @ianwardreports and I wrote in this profile of him earlier this year:

"It was Kevin Warsh’s chance to prove his commitment to independence, and he failed."
Read all about it in the latest edition of Receipts from @crampell:

I would be remiss in not thanking @SimonBowmaker, who sent me an unreleased interview he did with Warsh for his forthcoming book (which I believe is coming out early next year), and it gave us a ton of color to work with!
The odds seem stacked against Kevin Warsh, but the carefully crafted career path he has traveled up to this point suggests he is perhaps uniquely situated to pull off being Trump’s Fed chair
A portrait of him, by me & the very talented @ianwardreports

The turn away from free trade has been a major shift. In this episode of the Office Hours Podcast economists @TimTkehoe and @ChrisPhelanEcon share differing perspectives on how the President’s approach to trade policy is playing out for the United States.

Echoes of the 1970s. Switzerland pioneered negative interest rates in the 70s after the US suspended dollar convertibility into gold, the RoW questioned the dollar's reserve currency status and capital inflows into CH caused the franc to appreciate.
h/t to @m_maggiori who spoke about this at the Hoover conference on monetary policy last Friday.

Happy birthday F.A. Hayek, born on this day in 1899.
It is a good opportunity to read or reread his essay “The Use of Knowledge in Society”, which @tylercowen called “the single greatest economics article ever written.”

On this tariff day, I am happy to share the revised version of my paper "A Theory of International Boycotts".
It's a cool piece to teach in an international trade class.
