We can all remember the stunning headlines, market losses, and bailouts that resulted from the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September of 2008. As we approach the 15th anniversary of the collapse, it’s important to remember the impact of the collapse on both our financial system and Main Street, while also considering the role that Too-Big-To-Fail (TBTF) continues to play today.
To commemorate this anniversary, Better Markets held a virtual conference on Sept. 13 to discuss the causes, consequences, and ongoing impacts of that crash, too-big-to-fail generally, and all things finance and economics. The conference dove into the policy implications of the Lehman collapse and how TBTF continues to loom over our financial system and what policymakers and regulators can do about it. You can watch the full conference below:

The first champions of this new institution were then Congressmen Chris Van Hollen (D-Md) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass). Legislation launching the national green bank was incorporated in ACES, the cap-and-trade bill enacted in the House, and also was passed on a bipartisan basis from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. A national climate bank bill was introduced by the same two Congressmen in 2019, after they had become senators; was passed in the House in 2020 and 2021; became part of the Inflation Reduction Act enacted in August 2022. During these years CGC created more than three dozen state and local green banks to lay the groundwork for the national entity.
Hundt, an attorney, was a senior adviser to Covington and Burling from 2014 to 2019, to Skadden Arps from 2009 to 2014; to McKinsey, the consulting firm, from 1998 to 2009. He has served on many corporate boards, including Intel Corporation from 2001 to 2020, and helped start four firms, including two nonprofits, CGC and Making Every Vote Count. He has served as an adviser and venture partner to private equity and venture capital firms, including GTCR from 2006 to 2016.
Hundt served as chairman of the United States Federal Communications Commission from November 29, 1993, to November 3, 1997. He was a partner and associate at Latham & Watkins from 1975 to 1993, clerked for Judge Harrison L. Winter of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1974 to 1975, and graduated from Yale Law School in 1974, where he was a member of the board of the Yale Law Journal. He graduated from Yale College in 1969.
He has written five books, including A Crisis Wasted: Barack Obama’s Defining Decisions (2019); Zero Hour: Time to Build the Clean Power Platform (2013); The Politics of Abundance: How Technology Can Fix the Budget, Revive the American Dream, and Establish Obama’s Legacy (2012, co-written with Blair Levin); In China’s Shadow: The Crisis of American Entrepreneurship (2006); You Say You Want A Revolution: A Story of Information Age Politics (2000).
