Janet Yellen for Fed Chair – Calculated Risk

I've linked to a couple of articles below and they suggest the choice is between Janet Yellen and Larry Summers - and the key difference is "leadership style".  However another key difference is that Yellen has a much better track record of correctly analyzing the economic situation, while Summers has frequently been wrong (but never in doubt).

First, the new chairman will need to have – or will need to develop – a firm grip on the theory and practice of how the expansion and shrinkage of a central bank’s balance sheet affects the economy… The second and arguably much more important attribute of any new chairman will be the ability and determination to safeguard the Fed’s anti-inflation credibility.
