YELLEN The Trailblazing Economist Who Navigated an Era of Upheaval

by | Read by Seth Podowitz, Jon Hilsenrath [Dedication]

Business & Finance • 12 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2022

National economic decisions impact all of our lives, yet we rarely know much about the people who make them. This is the rare audiobook that brings to life the person behind the most recent decisions, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Seth Podowitz provides the ideal tone, elevating Yellen's passion for improving the nation through economic policy by using a delivery style that highlights her enthusiasm for her mission. When author Jon Hilsenrath changes the focus and removes the curtain from Yellen's academic and personal lives, listeners discover an individual far more complex than her public persona reveals. Podowitz's performance is particularly effective in the moments when he sounds as candid as Yellen herself and brings to life a figure whose importance in our lives cannot be overstated.
