Martin Feldstein to Replace Alan Greenspan?
He's stepping down from teaching his famous class, Ec 10, and the Crimson says he's
one of the top three candidates to take over the Fed when Alan Greenspan retires....
Feldstein is certainly qualified, his politics are conservative, and he has served as an informal adviser to President Bush.
Asked if he'd like the job, Feldstein issues a pretty weak non-denial denial: “I like teaching. I don’t see any reason to stop anytime in the foreseeable future."
The only possible downside: He's on the board of embattled AIG. But as long as he's not complicit in that company's troubles, I doubt that'd be an issue.
