It was an honor to catch up with former @FDICgov Chair @SheilaBair2013 yesterday at the @LoyolaChicago conference. Sheila was FDIC Chair from 2006-2011 through the global financial crisis. I was an economist at the @federalreserve in DC during this time and I will always remember Sheila as “firm” but also “fair.” She consistently raised hard questions about the bank bailouts. In her keynote yesterday, she reemphasized the dangers of Too Big To Fail that continue to be an issue today.
🚨If you don’t know Sheila’s story well, I encourage you to follow her and read her book “Bull by the Horns.” 📖 I admire her as an independent thinker and someone who is not afraid to speak truth to power.
Great to see you, Sheila!
