We see major gaps in both the legal research and training needed to tackle pressing questions of economic governance, said Khan, who chaired the FTC under former President Joe Biden.
One of the things that I'm hoping to do a better job on is getting people from the private sector-who've been in the private sector their whole career-who also spend a couple years in government at some point in their career, and learn something.
