The Treasury Secretary recently invited some influential economics bloggers to meet for a chat. One of the attendees, Tyler Cowen (of the wonderful Marginal Revolution), offers his - very Cowenesque - impressions:
1. Tim Geithner is very smart and he was conceptually stronger than one might have expected.
2. I believe that the long, L-shaped hallways encourage "visits to offices" rather than hallway conversations; this is a speculation and perhaps some reader can confirm or deny it.
3. The quality of the painted portraits of Treasury Secretaries declines as time passes.
4. The free cookies were good and fresh, with a warm, fluid chocolate interior.
Full list here.
Timmy is protecting his peers. You do know he studied in Bangkok right?
