The Future of the Thrift Industry
Public Spirit in the Thrift Tragedy
Author: Mark Carl Rom
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822974835
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Winner of the Harold Lasswell Award of the American Political Science Association The FSFIC failed spectacularly during the 1980s, costing taxpayers an estimated $200 billion. In this award-winning analysis, Rom examines the political causes of this "thrift tragedy." He directly confronts-and rejects-the dominant scholarly "public choice" view that public officials were motivated mainly be self-interest. Instead, Rom argues that politicians and bureaucrats generally acted in the "public spirit" by attempting to obtain the common interest as they saw it. Using new evidence and innovative methods, Rom demonstrates that FSLIC's failure unfolded because of commitments that officials had made in the past and their uncertainties about how to fulfill these obligations in the future.

The Thrift Tragedy
From Buildings and Loans to Bail-Outs
Author: David L. Mason
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139453807
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
For most Americans, the savings and loan industry is defined by the fraud, ineptitude and failures of the 1980s. However, these events overshadow a long history in which thrifts played a key role in helping thousands of households buy homes. First appearing in the 1830s savings and loans, then known as building and loans, encourage their working-class members to adhere to the principles of thrift and mutual co-operation as a way to achieve the 'American Dream' of home ownership. This book traces the development of this industry from its origins as a movement of a loosely affiliated collection of institutions into a major element of America's financial markets. It also analyses how diverse groups of Americans, including women, ethnic Americans and African Americans, used thrifts to improve their lives and elevate their positions in society. Finally the overall historical perspective sheds new light on the events of the 1980s and analyses the efforts to rehabilitate the industry in the 1990s.
