This week, Stefan Selig, the former Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade under President Obama, took us through the phase-one trade deal. Alyse Killeen, managing partner of StillMark, a Bitcoin-focused venture capital firm, and one of the first venture capitalists to participate as an institutional investor in the space, offered her crypto outlook for 2020. Federal Reserve historian and Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown joined to discuss his twitter fight with Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and why he thinks the Fed should not be pushing for political change. Then Sam Bell, founder and policy director at Employ America, came on to talk about President Trump appearing to regret passing over former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh in favor of Jay Powell for the top job at the Fed, and what life could have looked like under a Chairman Warsh.
