Aaron has written widely on real time payments and he joins the show today to talk about this issue, as they discuss the definition of real-time payments, how they could have a positive impact on limiting income inequality, and why the Fed is now interested in setting up its own real-time payments system.&amp;nbsp; David and Aaron also discuss banking reform after the recession, the shadow banking system, and why a lack of bank failures may be a worrying signal. &amp;nbsp; Transcript for the episode:  https:\/\/www.mercatus.org\/bridge\/podcasts\/08122019\/aaron-klein-real-time-payments-and-financial-regulation &amp;nbsp; Aaron\u2019s Twitter: @Aarondklein Aaron\u2019s Brookings profile: https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/experts\/aaron-klein\/ &amp;nbsp; Related Links: &amp;nbsp; *Is China\u2019s New Payment System the Future?* by Aaron Klein  https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/is-chinas-new-payment-system-the-future\/ &amp;nbsp; *Round One: What Role Should the Federal Reserve Play in Developing a Faster Payments System?* Symposium featuring James Angel, Aaron Klein and George Selgin  https:\/\/www.mercatus.org\/bridge\/commentary\/round-one-what-role-should-federal-reserve-play-developing-faster-payments-system &amp;nbsp; *Round Two: What Role Should the Federal Reserve Play in Developing a Faster Payments System?* Symposium featuring James Angel, Aaron Klein and George Selgin  https:\/\/www.mercatus.org\/bridge\/commentary\/round-two-what-role-should-federal-reserve-play-developing-faster-payments-system &amp;nbsp; David\u2019s blog: macromarketmusings.blogspot.com David\u2019s Twitter: @DavidBeckworth ","author_name":"Macro Musings with David Beckworth","author_url":"http:\/\/macromarketmusings.blogspot.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/10840046\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/49177940"}
