After the Pandemic: The Future of Financial Regulation with NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood

The triple crises of 2020 -- pandemic, economic contraction, and racial and social upheaval -- are opening up new kinds of conversations. Today's episode is one of these -- my discussion with Rodney Hood, the Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration.  Chairman Hood is the first African-American, ever, to head a US federal financial regulatory agency -- and one of only eight to hold presidentially-appointed roles in these agencies since the New Deal.  As we continue our Barefoot Innovation special series on financial regulation after the pandemic, we focus closely on the challenges of racial disparity in the financial system, and what to do about them.
