The Fed’s Ethics; The FDA’s Booster Shot Plan; Reid Hoffman’s ‘Masters of Scale’

Squawk Pod

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has ordered an internal ethics review after several senior central bank officials disclosed large investments and stock trades in 2020. CNBC’s Steve Liesman reports on the details of the disclosure documents, the existing rules for Fed official holdings. LinkedIn co-founder, venture capitalist, and host of the ‘Masters of Scale’ podcast Reid Hoffman discusses his new book, years of his own interviews with entrepreneurs, and the magic of an entrepreneurial spirit. A key Food and Drug Administration vaccine advisory committee meets to debate and vote on booster shots for the general public, and a former Boeing 737 Max pilot is likely to soon face criminal charges for his role in misleading aviation officials. Plus, American steel is making a comeback.
