I don't understand this take.
What if Yellen's intention was to get a nice payout? What if, instead of a good actor making a bad choice you simply have a bad actor that is engineering their way into positions that would later benefit them through book deals?
If you can elaborate on what "get money out of politics" means and how it can prevent book deals after the fact, I'm genuinely curious.
I think building a more robust system that doesn't put the onus solely on actors within the system to be good and can be self-correcting and actually address the revolving door issue instead of just telling people to vote for good policy makers.
