Michael Barr, former assistant secretary of the Treasury and key architect of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, will present a special midday seminar titled, "The Financial Crisis and the Path of Reform." Barr will discuss the origins of the financial crisis, and will assess the extent to which reforms help consumers, make the system safer, and end "too big to fail."
A light lunch will be available.
The event is cosponsored by the Program in Law and Public Affairs, the Woodrow Wilson School, the Benheim Center for Finance, and the Department of Economics at Princeton.
