Jerome Powell has chaired the Federal Reserve for five years now. To say it's been a wild ride is almost understating it. Powell and the Fed have battled a pandemic recession, an inflationary hangover, and now banking turmoil.
History will decide how well Powell met this moment. But we wanted to know right now, in the thick of it, how people think he's doing. Is he making the grade or lagging behind?
Today on the show, our guests grade Powell on three key subjects: inflation, jobs and financial stability.
