Donald Kohn

The recovery from the deep global recession has proven disappointingly sluggish, especially in the United States and in many other industrialized economies.

An esteemed economic leader who has worked side by side with Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, Donald Kohn brings his experience in monetary policy to explaining the actions of the Federal Reserve and he offers clear insight on the necessary deployment of monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies in correcting the economic excesses of the past and building a more prosperous future.
