Individually, as well as collectively, the board members have displayed a certain clairvoyance. In June 1970, for example, Robert Triffin, one of the world's leading monetary experts and master of Yale's Berkeley College, accurately predicted a world monetary crisis that would result in the revaluation of foreign currencies. Perhaps the most startling look forward came later that year, when Arthur Okun, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Johnson, outlined in detail an incomes policy.
