Geithner and Summers two men mentioned for Treasury Secretary have different styles but actually have worked together for many years and Rubin/Summers have helped Geithner get promoted to New York Fed President. Geithner style is more congenial and soothing as he respects others opinions, asks good questions every time based on a prepared structure and listens carefully whereas Summers tends to discourage people from speaking up with his style. See Geithner's prepared structure of questions in the link which reveals his style. He tries to get the best informed people to unfold their thinking and listens to them one by one improving his understanding from different angles.

For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
