Days after Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for a bill that would gut the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the U.S. Treasury Department released a report calling for a wide-ranging rollback of financial regulations it said are overly burdensome on the finance industry. During a recent appearance on Knowledge at Wharton’s SiriusXM show, Wharton legal studies and business ethics professors Peter Conti-Brown and David Zaring discussed how these changes would impact Wall Street and the U.S. economy.
