Thomas M Hoenig: Financial reform – post crisis? Speech by Mr Thomas M Hoenig, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, at Women in Housing and Finance, Washington DC, 23 February 2011. *  *  *  Thank you for inviting me here today to address this outstanding organization. It is my pleasure to do so.
My remarks are entitled “Financial Reform: Post Crisis?” and will address financial regulatory reform and too big to fail. Like most Americans, I am a strong defender of free market capitalism and I’m here today to make an argument that our country should take the difficult steps required to move its financial industry back toward that system.
