Conference on financial reform: Make Markets Be Markets

Tomorrow morning I will be at a conference on financial reform hosted by the Roosevelt Institute in New York City.  As far as bloggers go, I know that Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism and Mike Konczal of Rorty Bomb will also be there. So expect to see some details on the discussion in the days that follow.  I do recommend following the events on Bloomberg or CNN, if you have the chance. Details are provided in the blurb on the conference below.
