Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board at Better Markets
An independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that fights for a financial system that serves society and supports the productive economy.
Comprehensive economic, social, and racial justice. We fight rule-by-rule, agency-by-agency, for a financial system that serves society and supports the productive economy, thereby creating economic opportunity, prosperity, and security for every American, which will rebuild and grow the middle class, reduce social, economic, and racial injustice, and revive the American Dream.
To create and support guardrails, gatekeepers and guard-dogs (the “three Gs”) that ensure the financial sector serves society by supporting the real, productive economy that generates jobs and broad-based economic growth, rather than enriching financiers on Wall Street, destabilizing the financial system, draining public resources for their own benefit, and unleashing predators on consumers and investors.
We believe the financial system should serve society and support the productive economy, thereby creating economic opportunity, prosperity, and security for every American, which will rebuild and grow the middle class, reduce social, economic, and racial injustice, and revive the American Dream.
