With today being American Business Women's Day, we're revisiting this "From the Vault" Big Blend Radio interview with award-winning journalist and author Kathleen Day. Hear about her book, “Broken Bargain: Bankers, Bailouts, and the Struggle to Tame Wall Street,” that shows how a bargain between the government and Wall Street has evolved.
With tales of characters ranging over two centuries, the book pares the details of each crisis to a concise but complete history. “Broken Bargain” throws light on American finance’s raucous and Byzantine legacy, one that is fraught with boom-and-bust cycles. Along the way, she shows how the history of our banking and financial institutions mirrors and shapes the history of America.
Kathleen Day spent 30 years as a business journalist with the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and USA Today before joining the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business as a professor of finance in 2013. She lives in Washington, DC. https://kathleenday.com/
