Regulation and Instability in U.S. Commercial Banking

A History of Crises

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The historical response to bank crises has always been more regulation. A pattern emerges that some may find surprising: regulation often contributes to bank instability. It suppresses competition and effective response to market changes and encourages bankers to take on additional risk. This book offers a valuable history lesson for policy makers.
