On  today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how the Federal  Reserve has been forced to announce new ethics rules after a scandal  over financial trading conducted by high-ranking officials led to the  resignation of two regional bank presidents. But will this really  prevent Fed officials from using their positions of power to get rich?
