Evelyn Hart

Her story

Evelyn grew up in Omaha, where her father ran a farm-equipment dealership and her mother taught high school math. Around the dinner table, they talked about grain prices, interest rates and whether farmers could make their payments.

She earned a Ph.D. in economics and spent fifteen years as an economist at a regional Federal Reserve bank, studying inflation and rural lending.

She explains the economy and what it means for American families.
