What's interesting about this profile is that the main success it attributes to Powell is improving the Fed's public relations- while being a part of the Fed's successful public relations.https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/jerome-powell-federal-reserve-profile.html …
Agree but, like, he also just did a good job which generated bona fide confidence in his decision-making. It wasn't just that he's good at the PR game
