Waldman is known for his criticism of financial regulation:[10] James Kwak quotes "An enduring truth about financial regulation is this: Given the discretion to do so, financial regulators will always do the wrong thing."[11] Paul Krugman of the New York Times often cites Waldman; he talks about him 'going medieval' on Ezra Klein,[12] and another time: "we are indeed, as Steve Randy Waldman says, all dorks".[13]

The writer and novelist Adelle Waldman[14][15] is Waldman's sister. His mother, Jacqueline Waldman, was a chemistry professor at Goucher College.[16]
