  • Summary

  • Arthur Wilmarth argues that we must revive the wisdom of the New Deal era Glass-Steagall Act and again separate banks from the securities markets and commercial ventures. Federal bailouts of failing entities must be limited in the future to banks conducting a traditional banking business, rather than bailouts that extend broadly to protect securities activities and commercial ventures. Continuing overbroad bailouts will produce a “doom loop” that threatens the stability of our financial system and our economy.
    Professor Wilmarth’s Powerpoint slides and a reading list are posted on DCConsumerrightscoalition.org
