Summary: | Why our banking system is broken-and what we must do to fix itAs memories of the Global Financial Crisis have faded, it has been tempting to believe that the banking system is now safe and that we will never again have to choose between havoc and massive bailouts. But The Bankers' New Clothes shows that reforms have changed little-and that the banks still present serious dangers to the world economy. Writing in clear language that anyone can understand, Anat Admati and Martin Hellwig explain how we can have a healthier banking system without sacrificing any benefits. They also debunk the false and misleading narratives of bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and others who oppose real reform. |
