SPECIAL REPORT – Ten Years of Dodd-Frank and Financial Reform: Obama’s Successes, Trump’s Rollbacks and Future Challenges

The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 attempted to radically reform our country’s financial system. It aimed not only to ensure that American taxpayers would never again have to bail out Wall Street, but also to create a new financial system that would reduce inequality, support the productive economy, produce sustainable growth, and protect investors.

Ten years after Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, we are still grappling with its consequences. While some of its provisions have transformed our financial system, for the better, many have yet to be implemented at all, and others are being actively dismantled by deregulatory ideologues.
