Para el FMI: Stanley Fischer
Actualización: otro artículo en FT, en este caso de Mohamed El-Erian. Extraigo tres párrafos
"Mr Fischer is a world-class economist, and among the very few that applies a sharp, and well-trained analytical mind to both policy and academic challenges. He is exceptional in another, and even more unusual way. He uses his brilliance to engage rather than intimidate. Indeed, he starts his interactions with other people on the assumption that they can enlighten him; and they feel at ease sharing their insights and interacting with him."

"Mr Fischer is the right person at the right time for a demoralized and now largely directionless IMF. Ditto for a global economy that needs a legitimate and respected IMF to help it navigate enormous economic challenges – from Europe’s increasingly incoherent responses to its peripheral debt crisis, to the persistent global imbalances and the growing unemployment crisis in the US.
For him to get the job he is so highly qualified for, the Europeans should, indeed must, put the interest of the global economy ahead of their unfortunate attachment to an outmoded and harmful historical entitlement. If they fail to do so, it is high time for other countries – particularly, the US and China – to take a principled stance against continued European feudalism."
