Product Information
As America saw all too vividly in 2008, the potential failure of a large bank presents vexing questions for policymakers. It poses significant risks to other financial institutions, to the financial system as a whole, to consumer and shareholder confidence, and to the economic order. Because of such fears, policymakers in many countries respond by protecting bank creditors from all or some of the losses they otherwise would face. Failing banks are labeled too big to fail (or TBTF). This important book examines the issues surrounding TBTF, explaining why it is a problem and presenting ways to deal with it more effectively.Product Identifiers
