#307: Aaron Klein of Brookings

While America remains the richest economy in the world it is also the one where it is the most expensive to be poor. I have written about overdraft fees before (here and here) and that is one of the real problems with the banking system that is holding people back that live paycheck to paycheck. But it is about more than overdrafts, it is about expensive bank accounts and payments that take too long to clear. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On•One podcast is Aaron Klein, a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. He speaks and writes frequently on topics concerning economic equality and the flaws in our banking system. He is someone I have followed and admired for years and I was delighted when he agreed to this interview.
