The Fall of Silicon Valley Bank

On this Episode of A Hard Look, ALR Senior Technology Editor Bennett J. Nuss interviews Professor Hilary J. Allen regarding the current status of federal banking regulation in light of the four bank failures in the United States earlier this year. The discussion ranges from the circumstances surrounding the failure of the Silicon Valley Bank, how the public’s response to the failure may be overstated in terms of impact, the role of the FDIC in the disbursement of assets, and what the future would look like if all bank deposits were insured by the Federal Government.
