Ten Years After Dodd-Frank
A virtual conference co-hosted by Better Markets and George Washington University Law School's Business and Finance Law Program
This event took place on Tuesday, July 21, 2020
Thank you for joining us on the 10-year anniversary of President Obama's signing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the most sweeping financial reform law since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Watch the recording of the event where we took a look back at the consideration, passage and impact of that historic financial reform law, and what we can do now to prevent future crashes, get finance to serve society, reduce inequality, and create broad-based prosperity for all Americans.
The webcast featured welcoming remarks by former President Barack Obama along with a keynote discussion with Senator Chris Dodd and Representative Barney Frank, moderated by NBC News Senior Business Correspondent and Anchor on MSNBC, Stephanie Ruhle.
The webcast also included remarks by key Dodd-Frank and financial reform participants in these historic events: Senator Elizabeth Warren, House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, former FDIC Chair Sheila Bair, former Deputy Secretary Treasury/Fed Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin, and former Citibank/Citigroup CEO John Reed.
Better Markets released two major reports at the event:
