Financial Reform: What Does it Mean?


Download audio (MP3)

Nearly two years after the financial crisis began, Congress has reached a deal on legislation to reform the financial sector. Consumer advocates are celebrating some of the new rules spelled out in the 1,500 page bill -- but many details still need to be worked out. What does the legislation mean for consumers? And does it have the power to prevent another financial meltdown?

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Joseph Grundfest, former SEC commissioner, professor of law and business at Stanford Law School and co-director of the Rock Center on Corporate Governance
  • Lauren Saunders, managing attorney for the Washington, D.C. office of the National Consumer Law Center
  • Michael Mandel, editor in chief of Visible Economy and former chief economist for BusinessWeek
  • Rodney Brown, president and CEO of the California Bankers Association
