About the episode

Derek welcomes back the economic roundtable of Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson, cohosts of the Animal Spirits podcast, to debate who killed Silicon Valley Bank, how much we should blame the Fed, how much we should blame Silicon Valley venture capital firms, whether this will change the direction of monetary policy, and whether the U.S. has too many banks in the first place.
