    Zhan is 177cm tall, now she has less than 40kg wt. She may not survive the coming cold winter. I hope the world remember how she used to be.

    My first long-ish piece on the US economy: a look at Jerome Powell's tenure, ahead of Biden's decision about whether to reappoint him. His fate hinges on his regulatory record. But for economists the big debate is the Fed's ultra-loose monetary policy.
