5 things you need to know about Stanley Fischer (potential Federal Reserve Vice Chair)

Here’s an (ungated) Wall Street Journal article with 5 things about Stanley Fischer (potential Federal Reserve Vice Chair).

1. He’s taught a lot of famous central bankers and economists
2. He led the Bank of Israel
3. He’s got loads of crisis experience
4. He’s been skeptical of Fed communication
5. He called QE ‘Dangerous’ but ‘Necessary’

On #4, I like him already.

Check out the article for more detail.

What I’m really looking forward to is Janet turning to Stan to say “Well , here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into” .
