From Jonathan Bernstein:

It shouldn’t be a problem that incoming National Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow isn’t a trained economist possessing an advanced degree. It isn’t even necessarily disqualifying that he’s known as a famously bad pundit on financial matters. Neither shortcoming makes it impossible for him to do an excellent job leading the National Economic Council.

But another skill is absolutely central to the council’s mission, and it’s not clear that Kudlow has it.
