Volker was a good Fed Chairman. He was effective at applying the tonic the economy needed when before the cure was evident to most people. I was in business school when he was chairman, and got the perspective from Economy professors. I never had a class with him, but McConnell was running around in those halls (#1 Economics textbook at the time - widely translated) Greenspan took it to the next level. Greenspan became a rock star. Paul is not that personable. Paul Volker is still not independent of the UN. I would rather see him leading the investigation than some of the other possibilities. Imagine the UN Human Rights Commission picking the investigator. Volker is being allowed to publish some of the facts that put the UN in a bad light. Don't forget his contract is to report directly to the UN and only the Office of the UN President can authorize Volker to release anything. Do you think that he would threaten to resign and spill all if he were hemmed in too much?
