Join Roosevelt Institute Fellow Mike Konczal as he moderates a panel entiteld, "Why the Fed is the Most Important Economic Issue You Know Nothing About" at this year's Netroots Nation. Years worth of bailouts and bank regulation debates have placed a new level of political focus on the Federal Reserve. It has been a topic for the Occupy movement and those concerned with out-of-control financial institutions and the weak recovery. And in the next year, the Federal Reserve, without political pressure, could dismantle financial regulation and stop an economy about to take off. How does the left engage the Federal Reserve? This panel will dive into potential answers.
