Kevin Warsh: podcast appearances and interviews

Kevin Maxwell Warsh is the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution. He is an American financier and attorney with extensive experience in economic policy and financial markets. Warsh served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011 and was nominated again in 2026 to serve as the chair of the Federal Reserve. His career includes a background in public policy, obtained from Stanford University, and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. Warsh began his professional career at Morgan Stanley, where he specialized in mergers and acquisitions, eventually serving as a vice president and executive director of investment banking. His government service includes being appointed by President George W. Bush as a special assistant to the president for economic policy and the executive secretary of the National Economic Council, roles that involved managing issues related to corporate accounting scandals and legislation such as the Sarbanes–Oxley Act. As a federal member, Warsh was closely involved in responding to the 2008 financial crisis, overseeing significant events like the sale of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy, and the AIG bailout. He resigned from the Board in 2011 and later held academic roles at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. In 2026, Warsh was appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as the Federal Reserve chair, a nomination that faced scrutiny and was confirmed with the narrowest vote for the position in U.S. history.
