Rohit Chopra, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and former FTC Commissioner, joins The Realignment. Director Chopra and Marshall discuss the history of America's anti-monopolist tradition, how new FTC Commissioners ended decades of governmental inaction in 2018, the need to aggressively enforce laws on the books, how anti-monopoly policy can create strange ideological alliances, and the lessons from the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic.
