NPRHow Biden's Diverse Economic Team May Impact His Policies As President-elect Biden picks his economic team, NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro talks to economist Lisa Cook, a former adviser to President Obama, about diversity in the fields of economics and finance. LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: President-elect Joe Biden will introduce today his team tasked with rebuilding this devastated economy. So it says to me that we really need people in positions of economic policymaking who have different types of lived experience, who have different backgrounds, who understand the data from many different perspectives.
