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.
