Below-average central bankers: The Yellen Years

Janet Yellen testified today before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress.  Sen. Bernie Sanders of the Vermont Progressive Party asked her if the US were an “oligarchy or a capitalist democracy.” Yellen said she doesn't know how to describe our system but she, like Bernie, is troubled by the fact that everybody doesn't have the same amount of money.  (CNBC)


If she doesn't know what our economic system is, wouldn’t she find it difficult to lead monetary policy?
