Ellen Brown | Bankster Thugs, The Web of Debt, & The Public Banking Solution
Wealth Inequality, Capital in the 21st Century, and Bail-In Risks
The conversation addresses the growing divide between the wealthy and the general population, referencing Thomas Piketty’s book Capital in the 21st Century. Brown argues that regulation like Dodd-Frank and the Volcker Rule has been diluted by banking lobbyists to the point of ineffectiveness. She warns that the current legal framework has shifted from taxpayer bailouts to "bail-ins," which allow banks to seize depositor funds to maintain solvency during a crisis.
