4. As
@BCAppelbaum documented in his fine book The Economists' Hour, in 1990s & later Summers specifically thwarted efforts to by Treasury staff & economists to fix lending and stop the housing bubble from getting out of control.pic.twitter.com/llJIilmOvq

5. There are other reasons why neither Biden nor any other administration will ever again nominate Summers to a position of power. It's considered impolite to talk about in the media but it has to be a factor.pic.twitter.com/q5QY6pdg08
