Care to actually respond with some substance instead of snark? I'm genuinely curious about the Jackson Hole type of meetings. Are you saying her talks are indeed of some great value and insight, and not about access?


High profile names are simply there to get people to attend them and provide attendees an opportunity to gain some insight/ask questions.

The idea that all it takes is $300k to change monetary policy in the US is absolutely nutty.


Thank you for responding. Yeah, I think thats fair, though I didnt understand the other poster to be saying they were changing policy, more that speakers were charging for knowledge/acess, which is a different thing.

The position that she only gave one speech and it was in direct exchange for a huge change in monetary policy is a strawman.
