Ep.138 – Christina Skinner on Central-Bank Activism

Christina Skinner, assistant professor of legal studies and business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Central Bank Activism. In this article, Skinner critically analyzes demands that central banks like the Federal Reserve step beyond their traditional monetary mandates to tackle other fiscal and social challenges, such as climate change, income and racial inequality, or foreign and small-business aid. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Daniel Hamilton, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.
