Bea and Artie speak with Nathan Tankus about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and why popular reporting on the bank's collapse only scratches the surface of the extraordinary measures that made up the government's response. Nathan walks us through how the Federal Reserve tipped its hand last month at the power it has to intervene in political crises, and how to understand SVB's collapse, you have to understand what the Fed did in the early days of the pandemic.
