Strategic Misdirection: How Distorted Policing Priorities Leave Violent Crime Unsolved

Financial markets are some of the most heavily regulated markets in the United States. Firms and individuals that wish to engage in financial services–related businesses face complex regulatory regimes that are overseen by a web of agencies that includes, on the federal level, several banking regulators, two markets regulators, and a consumer protection regulator. But the regulation doesn’t end there, as a host of other agencies, including state-level regulators and self-regulatory organizations, may also have oversight responsibilities. As attention has turned to ideas of government efficiency, financial regulation should not be left out of the conversation. But how should we right-size financial regulation?Our conference seeks to shed light on this question by asking: How many financial regulators is the right number? What should the balance be between federal and state financial regulation? Should the Federal Reserve shed its regulatory functions? Has federal intervention in housing finance gone too far?Join us at Cato’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives annual conference for an outstanding program featuring leading policymakers and experts discussing how to right-size financial regulation.
