Fragile by Design
Author: Charles W. CalomirisPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691168350
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
Why stable banking systems are so rare Why are banking systems unstable in so many countries—but not in others? The United States has had twelve systemic banking crises since 1840, while Canada has had none. The banking systems of Mexico and Brazil have not only been crisis prone but have provided miniscule amounts of credit to business enterprises and households. Analyzing the political and banking history of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil through several centuries, Fragile by Design demonstrates that chronic banking crises and scarce credit are not accidents. Calomiris and Haber combine political history and economics to examine how coalitions of politicians, bankers, and other interest groups form, why they endure, and how they generate policies that determine who gets to be a banker, who has access to credit, and who pays for bank bailouts and rescues. Fragile by Design is a revealing exploration of the ways that politics inevitably intrudes into bank regulation.

ISBN:
Category : Banks and banking
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
From the back cover: Can national financial institutions, such as banks, function in a country as regionally diverse as Canada without seeming to discriminate between the regions...This book...considera a very real and specific aspect of the sharing of regulatory power within Confederation. The results of Benson's study indicate that national policies, pursued either by governments or by private sector firms, may well produce different results in different regions. This regional dieversity is often interpreted as discrimination and because of it provincial governments are sometimes led to take countrevailling action. The concept of a provincial government is one such response.
U.S. Bank Deregulation in Historical Perspective
Author: Charles W. CalomirisPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521028388
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This book shows how deregulation is transforming the size, structure, and geographic range of U.S. banks, the scope of banking services, and the nature of bank-customer relationships. Over the past two decades the characteristics that had made American banks different from other banks throughout the world--a fragmented geographical structure of the industry, which restricted the scale of banks and their ability to compete with one another, and strict limits on the kinds of products and services commercial banks could offer--virtually have been eliminated. Understanding the origins and persistence of the unique banking regulations that defined U.S. banking for over a century lends an important perspective on the economic and political causes and consequences of the current process of deregulation.
