The Case to Reform Credit Rating Agencies

Case Intro: The Great Recession of 2008 wrecked the American economy and cost the average American $70k in lifetime income. What's worse is that it was preventable. This case does what the laundry list of government reforms never accomplished: fixing the underlying toxic business model of credit rating agencies that led to the crisis in the first place.

Give Credit

Reforming Home Loans

Case Intro: In the Great Recession, the housing market crash revealed that banks were extending credit to borrowers who could not afford to pay back their loans. Banks used predatory tactics to disguise their loan offers to make them look affordable to their consumers. After the bubble burst, the federal government stepped in to levy regulations on lenders in order to curb these manipulative practices. While some changes have been beneficial, other have significantly harmed borrowers and will lead to problems in the near future.

Monetary Neutrality

The Case for Reforming the Federal Reserve

Case Intro: The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate given to it by Congress: Maintain minimal inflation and maximum unemployment. While it seems direct, those are two outcomes that are difficult to measure and even harder to accomplish. What if there was a simpler way to lead a healthy economy?
