R. Glenn Hubbard was mentioned to have been on the short list to succeed Greenspan at the Fed, Ben Bernanke landed the post. The 2006 Columbia follies saw an opportunity, here’s their rather hilarious production: Every breath you take Every change of rate Jobs you don’t create While we still stagflate… I’ll be watching you [...]
