It’s Broken, So Let’s Fix It: An FDIC Alumni Briefing
Join former FDIC chairman Bill Isaac and economist José Torres as they discuss the current lack of fiscal and monetary discipline, which is weighing on economic prospects. Bill is well known for working closely with former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s, when frequent bank failures, skyrocketing inflation, and high interest rates required challenging choices to place the nation on the right course. Bill and José will provide unique insights regarding the shortcomings of current banking and economic policies that may lead the economy to a painful future.
