My Take
I find Austan Goolsbee compelling because he bridges the academy and the corridors of power so naturally. Born in Waco, Texas in 1969, Yale-educated and a longtime University of Chicago Booth professor, he chaired Obama's Council of Economic Advisers and now leads the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Economists who can move fluidly between rigorous research and real policymaking are rare, and rarer still are those who explain it all with genuine clarity and humor. That gift for translation is what I admire most. When someone like Goolsbee speaks on the economy, I tend to listen carefully.
