Did Federal Deposit Insurance Corrupt the Banking System? [Reason Podcast]




Reason Podcast show

Summary: In today's podcast, we've got the audio from an April 12 live debate in which Cato's George Selgin went up against Business Insider Senior Editor Josh Barro over whether the U.S. should do away with federal deposit insurance—a system in which the government guarantees bank balances of up to $250,000. The event was hosted by the Soho Forum, a monthly libertarian-themed Oxford-style debate series in New York City.
