In praise of Janet Yellen.

Now that her term is concluding, I must say that I have appreciated having Ms. Yellen's hand on the tiller at the Fed the past few years (and as vice-chair back to 2010). Too often, politicians and appointees forget that their job is not to be spokespeople for their political party or partisan hacks in general, but to do a specific job to keep the country running as smoothly as possible. Ms. Yellen never seemed to lose sight of her duties and responsibilities and appears to have done a creditable job overall.
