David A. Stockman To Write for Minyanville Media
Former Reagan White House Budget Director to Become Regular Contributor To Fast Growing Financial Media Company
NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Minyanville Media announced today that former Reagan White House Budget Director David A. Stockman will be joining the company as a regular contributor to the flagship website, www.minyanville.com.
Stockman, who was a Congressman from Michigan before joining the Reagan administration, is extremely well-versed in fiscal and monetary policy issues and will share his insight on those topics, as well as matters facing the business landscape, financial markets and the impact they will have on investors. Mr. Stockman is also writing what promises to be a controversial and unblinking examination of the failed policies underlying America's collapsing bubble economy called THE TRIUMPH OF CRONY CAPITALISM (PublicAffairs Press.)
"What makes his contribution to investors so valuable," said Todd Harrison, Minyanville Founder and CEO, "is his unique perspective that virtually no one else on the Street duplicates. His experience and extraordinary analytical insights allow him to identify macro trends with a clarity and relevance that promises to impact investment decisions. That ability, coupled with his willingness to separate himself from the 'conventional wisdom' herd, make his contribution to our mission particularly rich."
"Minyanville is a forum for honest, straight-forward insight," said Stockman. "I look forward to contributing on topics of importance to investors."
After leaving the White House, Stockman had a long career in investment banking and private equity.
