About this listen
Trump’s feud with Powell adds to the chaos in financial markets, but recalls many other episodes in American history when presidents and central bankers clashed. From Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle fighting over the future of the Second Bank of the United States, to Harry Truman firing then-Fed Chair Tom McCabe, which led to the 1951 Treasury Accord, politicians and the Fed manage an uneasy alliance with implications for the future direction of interest rates and the economy. Bank treasurers might think that the Fed’s political independence is sacrosanct, but forget that when the politicians in Congress chartered the Fed in 1914, the Treasury Secretary was a voting member of the FOMC. Bank treasurers who successfully manage through market and economic uncertainty are only doing their jobs by delivering consistent performance through ups and downs.
