Free the Economy podcast: The future of financial regulation with Thomas Hoenig
In this week’s episode we cover the status of occupational licensing in the 50 states, the coming crack-up over entitlement spending, and how to bring supersonic flights back to the US. Our interview is with Thomas Hoenig, Federal Reserve alumnus and Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. We’ll talk about interest rates, big banks, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and where US financial regulation is going in the years ahead. Also check out Thomas’ Substack, FinRegRag.
