Kevin Hassett helps corporations and organizations navigate pending regulation and expected changes in monetary policy
Dr. KEVIN HASSETT is among the world’s leading economists and offers insights on potential increases to taxation and regulation – all of which are on the table with the Biden administration. He appears regularly on Fox (such as in this recent clip discussing inflation) and frequently writes op-eds for leading publications, such as his recent pieces in Wall Street Journal and National Review, in which he assesses the affect green energy subsidies and proposals to tax capital would have on American workers and businesses. Hassett served as the 29th Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers from 2017 through 2019, and was a key force driving internal and external debate on virtually every economic topic, from taxes and trade to deregulation. He was the top public spokesperson for the White House on economic policy and the state of economy, appearing regularly on Fox, Fox Business, CNBC, MSNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, and drawn upon occasionally to run the televised White House press briefings. In 2020, he was called back to the White House to serve as a special economic advisor to manage data-driven decisions in response to the Coronavirus economic fallout, and is an expert on the economy as it reopens and fluctuates under a new White House, speaking on inflation, minimum wage, and more. Hassett is popular with corporations and trade associations, as he gives valuable insight on economic policy and the way these potential policies will play out in the economy in real time, and is known for bringing humor into his engaging, informative presentations. He always gets rave reviews for his events, such as this ovation from the American Hotel & Lodging Association, saying "Kevin’s appearance was great. He’s great to work with and our audience enjoyed his insights."
