NGPF Speaker Series: As chair of the FDIC during the 2008 financial crisis, Sheila Bair watched homeowners get taken in by predatory lenders offering loans they didn't understand. She saw Bernie Madoff swindle investors and countless other scams unfold across the financial system. Now she's channeling those real-world schemes into children's books featuring characters like Aluminum Jim the door-to-door salesman and Billy the Borrowing Blue-Footed Booby. Her Money Tales series aims to create a generation of skeptical consumers who can protect themselves from financial predators. In this session, Sheila will discuss her new book coming out in April, what she thinks should be taught in personal finance classrooms, and how to help students ask questions and think critically about financial offers before it's too late.
