Neel Kashkari’s efforts toward “Washington detox,” which are featured today in a front page Washington Post story, are striking a chord with Americans.
As last fall’s financial crisis hit, Neel Kashkari was one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Treasury Department. In October 2008 he was put in charge of the Troubled Asset Relief Program — the federal government’s $700 billion bailout of the financial system.
Kashkari is featured prominently in Andrew Ross Sorkin’s book about that hectic time, “Too Big to Fail.” He is also helping with former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s upcoming book, “On the Brink.”
