•Michael Barr Hands the Fed’s Financial Regulation Powers to Trump
67% Informative
Federal Reserve's vice chair of supervision, Michael Barr , has decided to step down rather than fight with President-elect Trump .
This is a great gift to Trump , writes Julian Zelizer .
Zelizer: The Fed announced this week he will step down from this supervisorial role by February 28 .
Barr 's critics say it's better for the actual functioning of the Fed to be gravely harmed under cover of darkness than to mount a controversial fight in public to preserve that functioning.
Countries with a recent experience of dictatorship, like South Korea , tend to be a lot more sensible about what to do when a would-be dictator attempts to seize power.
