The current Administration has recycled a lot of economic advisers from the last Democratic presidency. A notable exception: Nobel laureate and Columbia University economics professor Joseph Stiglitz who served on and later chaired President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers. He was also chief economist at the World Bank.
Stiglitz gives the government's efforts to deal with the worst financial crisis in generations generally bad grades with the exception of the barely passable stimulus bill, which he finds an anemic and insufficient response to the recession.
