The period since the Global Financial Crisis and numerous scandals
have exposed some areas of serious illegal and unethical conduct
within western banking systems. Despite extensive reforms it is
increasingly apparent however that there is a persistent problem
with the 'culture' of banking in Anglo-America. US and UK state
managers made substantial efforts to reform the culture of their
banking sectors. However, this book argues that they focused on an
extremely narrow definition of bank culture. They did so for two
reasons: firstly, because the structural pressures of
financialization - which are a far more important driver of the
problematic features of bank culture in Anglo-America - are harder
to remedy; but secondly, state managers also used their bank
culture response to tackle a legitimacy crisis facing their
institutions of government. In so doing they abdicated
responsibility for the real problems - of inequality and
instability - associated with their respective financial systems
Drawing on interviews with more than 150 individuals working in
financial services as well as regulators, politicians, and lawyers,
The Bank Culture Debate explains the strategies employed by state
managers before then examining what has and has not changed in the
culture of banking in the US and UK.
