Resolving the remaining troubled S\u0026amp;Ls could cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions. What went wrong with the industry? Are fraud and deregulation solely responsible for this financial disaster?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume the author argues that federal deposit insurance itself is largely to blame: by permitting institutions to operate with inadequate capital, the system subsidizes weak institutions while increasing the risk to taxpayers. In addition, regulation and supervision prevent S\u0026amp;Ls from adapting to changing market forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCongress, the administration, and the regulatory agencies, the author says, have created a flawed deposit insurance system and a rigid, outdated supervisory and regulatory structure. He recommends a thorough reexamination and restructuring that would protect both depositors and taxpayers and would allow the industry to respond to changes in the marketplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7718206\"\u003eJames R.
