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 (also the first woman to hold the job) and of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers.
In "Empathy Economics," Ullmann draws an intimate portrait of Yellen's heart and mind as he tells a riveting story of her unmatched journey through Washington's most powerful circles. The book also explores Yellen’s approach to economics, including her commitment to putting those on the bottom half of the economic ladder at the center of economic policy.
