Abstract
Despite Silicon Valley’s increasing importance to the delivery of financial services, people who work on financial regulatory policy rarely spend much time in conversation with those who study technology policy. My new internet serial, the cheekily named Fintech Dystopia: A summer beach read about Silicon Valley ruining things, was written to help bridge this gap—and bridging this gap is becoming increasingly urgent. For those worried about the stability of our financial system, there are aspects of Silicon Valley’s modus operandi that should make them particularly concerned about the rise of fintech. And for those worried about Silicon Valley’s power over our society, that power is only becoming more entrenched as Silicon Valley makes incursions into the financial services industry, with all the money, data, and government safety nets that come with that kind of business.
