EMPATHY ECONOMICS Janet Yellen's Remarkable Rise to Power and Her Drive to Spread Prosperity to All

Narrator Christine Padovan delivers this timely biography of Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. Padovan changes her voice to replicate the soft volume and slight accent of the Queens native, who has achieved the highest levels of public service. Padovan captures Yellen quite well. In addition, she deepens her tone when she voices the many men in this audiobook. As chair of the Federal Reserve and the President's Council of Economic Advisors and Secretary of the Treasury (the first woman), Yellen has achieved the "trifecta" of a public economist. Yellen took on the Cabinet position during the unprecedented Covid pandemic. Her economic acumen, people skills, and empathy are fully displayed in this laudatory biography.
