Show Notes
If you think a show about financial regulation is likely to be boring, I ask you to think again.
Financial regulations are really about money.
And in particular, ordinary Americans' money.
Consumer credit and credit cards
Student loans
Credit reporting
Mortgage finance
Fintech
Crypto currencies
How small businesses get financed
And financial regulations have become yet another primary battlefield on which the Left hopes to fundamentally transform America through the prisms of race and social justice.
Joining me to explain this at-first-glance arcane but critically important topic is Todd Zywicki professor of law at George Mason's Antonin Scalia law school and Brian Johnson who was deputy director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
They make this come alive. To learn what's at stake, listen in.
