“So said Kevin Warsh in the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting of 30-31st January 2007; 19 years later he can finally put this position into practice.”

“Far from hearing from the 19 different FOMC members, both voting and non‑voting, Warsh wants to return the power of the Fed back to the position of Chair.”

“Warsh has always been sceptical over the increasing move by central banks towards more transparency, arguing in a review he did for the Bank of England in 2014 that “All communication… is not created…”

“Back in 2007 he called this “the ‘benevolent leader’ model”.”

“Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said yesterday that the Fed wants to see an annual U.S. inflation rate of 2%. It’s now running at 3.5%.”

“"This is the biggest time of consequence to each of our economies, I think, in our lifetime," Warsh said, and added, "Who knew when the internet was born that the internet was going to create a milli…”
