Chris and Kurt sit down with Jesse Eisinger, senior editor at ProPublica, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist covering the financial markets and the 2008 financial crisis, and author of The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives (2017). Their conversation focuses on reporting in the securities markets, his prophetic (and award-winning) writing about the fall of the housing market and its impacts, and his recent work as a consultant on the hit HBO show Succession.
