As you have likely noticed, this week, we’re trying something totally new: sharing an audio version of an exclusive Prinsights conversation. This way, we can offer a range of options for those who are on the move or prefer non-video content to tune into. Regardless, this conversation is a must-listen.
This week, we’re thrilled to share an important and timely conversation with a personal north star to me and so many others in the financial space, Bethany McLean. Bethany is currently a contributing editor to the stellar work at Vanity Fair where she covers business topics and much more. Her work and insights have been featured at Yahoo Finance, CNBC, Fortune and Motley Fool.
She’s written and co-authored multiple best-selling books, including her brilliant work for The Smartest Guys in the Room, which detailed the Enron scandal and would eventually be made into an Academy Award nominated documentary film. Before her work as an author and journalist, Bethany’s first job was working as an investment analyst at Goldman Sachs. Her work often covers financial crisis, scandals and Wall Street – and her coverage is worth your time and consideration.
During our conversation, you’ll discover:
The financial impact that the Federal Reserve’s response during the COVID crisis had on the markets, housing prices and the real economy
Which specific bubble the Fed can’t (or won’t) let the air out of now
Key details driving the banking sector today the financial risks they’re posing
For those interested, Bethany’s latest work is The Big Fail: What the Pandemic Revealed About Who America Protects and Who It Leaves Behind. I could not recommend following Bethany’s work more!
Are you enjoying the audio-only version? Or do you prefer video-style interviews? We’d greatly appreciate your feedback.
