朱迪·谢尔顿因提出颇具争议的经济主张，导致参议院否决了她出任美联储理事的提名。如今她被任命为财政部长斯科特·贝森特的顾问。
Judy Shelton, whose controversial economic ideas led the Senate to block her nomination to the Federal Reserve, has been appointed a counselor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
财政部表示，谢尔顿将就货币政策向贝森特提供建议，尤其侧重于评估中国的金融状况。不过谢尔顿并非中国问题专家。
The Treasury said Shelton will advise Bessent on currency policy, "with a particular focus on evaluating financial conditions in China." Shelton is not known as a China expert.
1988年她著有《货币崩溃》一书，主张建立统一的国际货币体系；次年又出版了《即将到来的苏联崩溃》。
She authored "Money Meltdown", about the need for a unified international monetary regime, in 1988, followed by "The Coming Soviet Crash" the next year.
在加入财政部前，谢尔顿曾是自由市场智库“独立研究所”的高级研究员，更早之前则在斯坦福大学胡佛研究所任职。她拥有犹他大学工商管理博士学位。
Prior to joining Treasury, Shelton served as a senior fellow at the Independent Institute, a free-market think tank, and, before that, at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. She holds a Ph.D. in business administration from the University of Utah.
财政部在公告中称：“谢尔顿的职业生涯始终专注于分析各国国内的货币与金融状况及其对汇率的影响。”该公告将于周五晚些时候正式发布。
"Throughout her career, she has specialized in analyzing the internal monetary and financial conditions of nations and their impact on exchange rates,' The Treasury said in its announcement, which will be released later Friday.
2019年，包括全体民主党议员及部分共和党议员在内的跨党派议员团，因谢尔顿对美联储独立性的立场、对金本位制的支持以及她对美国是否需要中央银行的质疑，否决了特朗普总统对她出任美联储理事的提名。此次任命正值财政部高层人事动荡之际。
A bipartisan group of Senators, including all Democrats and a handful of Republicans, rejected President Donald Trump's 2019 nomination of Shelton as a Fed governor over her views on Fed independence, her support for the gold standard and her questioning whether the U.S. needed a central bank. Her appointment comes at what looks to be a time of turmoil at Treasury regarding high-level personnel.
《华尔街日报》近期报道称，截至8月底已有7名经参议院批准的官员相继离职，而目前仅有一个职位得到填补。
A recent Wall Street Journal story cataloged seven Senate-confirmed officials who have left the department through the end of August. Only one position has been filled.
贝森特此前还任命了前杰富瑞集团首席市场策略师戴维·泽沃斯担任顾问，其职位与谢尔顿相同。不过无论是谢尔顿还是泽沃斯，均无需经过参议院批准即可任职。
Bessent recently named David Zervos, former chief market strategist at Jeffries, as a counselor—the same job title as Shelton. Neither Shelton nor Zervos require Senate approval.
