Financial policy without the paywall
Policy doesn’t belong behind a paywall.
Financial services has been shaped by regulations since the beginning.
“If a man has a debt lodged against him, and … there is no grain grown in the field due to insufficient water—in that year he will not repay grain to his creditor; he shall suspend performance of his contract and he will not give interest payments for that year.”
In Hammurabi’s time it was easy–-if you could read cuneiform, the regulations were carved in stone in the middle of the public square.
Today it is a bit harder. For those of us who care about financial services, every change in the law, every Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and every updated guidance matters. And every one of those policy changes starts with an idea. One of the few thousand legislators, staffers, civil servants, academics, or private sector insiders with influence decides something needs to change and puts the weight of their opinion into action. But these ideas can be hard to find, often locked behind a paywall or buried in the bowels of the federal register.
No more.
