What does America’s next treasury secretary believe?

TO HEAR DONALD Trump’s transition team describe it, everyone wants to work for him. Howard Lutnick, the boss of Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment firm, and a co-head of the recruitment crew, has bragged that he is in touch with “the top 150 businesspeople across the United States of America”. A vast array of names have been bandied about for all kinds of roles, including treasury secretary—from Jamie Dimon, boss of JPMorgan Chase, a bank (who has repeatedly clarified he has no interest in the job), to Jay Clayton, who ran the Securities and Exchange Commission during Mr Trump’s first term (but is apparently more interested in running the CIA this time) and Steven Mnuchin (who did the job last time but does not want it back).
