Government Debt Crisis Has Hit U.S. Banks | Bill Isaac, Former FDIC Chair
Today Jack interviews William “Bill” Isaac, who served as Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from 1981 to 1985. Isaac recounts his handling of large bank failures in the 1970s and 1980s, including the collapse of Continental Illinois, which was the largest FDIC takeover until Washington Mutual in 2008. Isaac argues that at the core of banking issues is fiscal imprudence by the U.S. Congress which has caused inflation and rate volatility. Filmed on August 16, 2023.
Today’s interview is sponsored by Blockfills, a crypto trading solutions and financial technology firm.
