This volume narrates the financial history of the United States
during a period of great upheaval in the early part of the 21st
century. It is divided into three chronological sections: the first
section describes the recovery of financial markets after the Great
Recession. It begins with an overview of the state of the economy
at the start of the new decade, including some of the political
storms affecting the economy and financial markets. It explores the
uneven nature of the recovery and volatility in the Treasury during
these years. The second section sets forth regulatory responses to
the Financial Crisis of 2008, including the massive fines imposed
on large banks by a swarm of regulators. It examines the "too big
to jail" prosecution model, cases involving Libor and foreign
exchange manipulation and the impact of rogue traders. It also
looks at the developments in payment systems, rise of crowdfunding
as a source of capital, and high-frequency trading. The third
section describes the rules adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act of
2010 that broadly affected financial markets. It also recounts the
Trump trade wars and ends with an account of the financial and
economic turmoil that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic in
2020. The volume will be an essential addition to academic and
public libraries with readers drawn from business schools,
departments of economics and finance, and historians.
