Summers Vs. Yellen

The financial press has narrowed down the race for the next Fed Chair to Larry Summers and Janet Yellen. Though there are other candidates with Democratic credentials,  most stories are about a pairwise comparison: Between Summers and Yellen, who is closer to Barack Obama, more able to get along with Wall Street, more dovish, or better able to intervene in a serious financial crisis? But the most important question is who is more likely to implement a monetary policy that will help keep us out of a serious financial crisis.
