The ultimate glass-ceiling buster, Yellen is the first person to hold all three of America's top economic policy positions: Treasury Secretary (the first woman to hold the job), chair of the Federal Reserve and of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Yellen's sheer brilliance was certainly foundational, as has been her meticulous preparation for every job she has held in academia and government. What stands out, though, are the human qualities she has maintained in a Washington policy world where fierce intellectual combat casts others as either friend or enemy, never more so than in our current age of polarization. While her accomplishments are historic, humility and compassion are her trademarks, qualities instilled by her parents: a family doctor father who labored in working class Brooklyn, treating people whether they had the ability to pay or not, and a mother who preached the ethic of public service, perseverance and nothing less than perfection in every task. As Ullmann vividly shows, empathy economics, the north star of Yellen's work as researcher, analyst, and policymaker stems from her early family life. Yellen has pushed back against the cold, abstract quality of a male-dominated economics profession that all too often pushes policies that benefit the already well-to-do. She has strived to remake it as a tool for shaping compassionate programs that help people find remedies for financial plights that stem from a lack of economic opportunity because of poverty, unemployment or job discrimination"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Yellen, Janet L. $q (Janet Louise), $d 1946- 610 20 $a Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.) $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Economists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Monetary policy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 650 6 $a Ãconomistes $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Politique monétaire $z Ãtats-Unis. 651 6 $a Ãtats-Unis $x Politique économique. 600 17 $a Yellen, Janet L. $q (Janet Louise), $d 1946- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00265253 610 27 $a Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528659 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Economists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902277 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Monetary policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025230 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economics / General. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ullmann, Owen. $t Empathy economics. $b First edition. $d New York : PublicAffairs, 2022 $z 9781541701045 $w (OCoLC)1344541665 941 $a 2 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230603011536.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230601010138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A342E576004111EEBB5E2E0C29ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
