EconomyWall Street Week: Warsh’s Waiting Game, EU Merger Rules and the Robotic Surgery Surge
Harvard professor and former Obama economic adviser Jason Furman examines the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and the challenges facing Chairman Kevin Warsh. The program also looks at the European Union’s effort to rewrite merger rules so it can foster technology giants capable of competing with America. Johnson & Johnson entered the rapidly expanding robotic-surgery market years after its rivals, but is pursuing a different strategy to catch up. The episode further asks what think tanks accomplish and how their returns can be measured.
