In this week’s episode of our Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky is joined by Professor Dan Awrey of Cornell Law School, the author of a working paper titled, “Money and Federalism.” Alan and Dan discuss the United States’ system, in which federal and state governments possess independent yet overlapping authority for bank chartering—unique among countries in the world—and whether the rise of the “new breed” of technology-driven financial institutions that operate largely outside of conventional bank regulation means it’s time for a reckoning.
