Danielle DiMartino Booth

Danielle DiMartino Booth worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as an advisor to president Richard Fisher, gaining inside knowledge of Fed deliberations. She became a prominent critic of Fed policy after leaving, publishing the book "Fed Up: An Insider's Take on Why the Federal Reserve Is Bad for America" in 2017. She founded Quill Intelligence to provide economic research and credit cycle analysis. Her commentary focuses on warning about the systemic consequences of extraordinary Fed policy — including asset price distortions, zombie companies enabled by low rates, and the eventual normalization challenges. She reaches a significant retail and professional investor audience through media appearances and her research service. Her credit cycle analysis, which tracks corporate leverage metrics, covenant quality in leveraged loan markets, and delinquency trends in consumer credit, has provided subscribers with early warning signals of credit deterioration that are often ahead of consensus market positioning.
