I was honoured to have Barney Frank, former US congressman and co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act, write one of the two forewords in my book, as well as my guest of honour at my book launch in New York on 20 October 2022. He was as sharp as ever. He discussed the salient features of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 that are still relevant today, as well as the new challenges facing regulation today in the face of dealing with innovation. He also touched on how my book, “The Great Transition – the personalization of finance” addressed some of these pressing issues.
