1. When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment, that person’s influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in January, now finds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now.

翻译：当合适的人在合适的时间担任合适的工作，这个人的影响力就会被极大地扩大。这正是Janet Yellen目前的状态，她在一月份时有望被批准出任美联储下一任主席。如果你和其他人一样相信，失业是我们这个时代主要的经济、社会问题，那么就不难想到Yellen是当今世界最权力的人物。
