Irene Finel-Honigman is a citizen of the world, and understands the complicated financial ebbs and flows that impact our daily lives. An adjunct professor at Columbia University's School of International Affairs, she is an expert of banking, finance, interest rates and trade. She explains the current banking jitters, and she explains the complexities of interest rates. We talk about what it was like to be one of the early women on Wall Street, how her journey took her into the board rooms, class rooms, and policy salons of New York and Washington. After years of making this world of global finance understandable to her students, she shares her insights with us in an engaging and lively conversation.
