“The White House whittled down its candidates to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to two names: Current Fed Vice-Chair Janet Yellen and long-time Washington, D.C., economic guru Larry Summers. Both candidates bring strong resumes, decades of experience with U.S. monetary policy, and about an equal amount of baggage. Yellen’s favorables include serving the past three years as Bernanke’s second in command, a factor that would presumably soothe potential market fears of a significant change in Fed policy. Yellen is known as a strong supporter of the easy money policies initiated by the Fed in the wake of the financial crisis.”
