Banks of all sorts are troubled institutions. The cost of public
bail-outs associated with the subprime crisis in the United States
alone may be as high as US$5 trillion. What is the problem with
banks? Why do they seem to be at the centre of economic and
financial turmoil down through the ages? In this provocative and
timely book, Rethel and Sinclair seek answers to these questions,
arguing that banks suffer from perennial problems, and that
developments in the financial markets and government in recent
decades have simply exacerbated these issues. The book examines
banking activity in America, Asia and Europe, and how specific
historical circumstances have transformed banks' behaviour and
attitude to risk. While many see government as a constraint on
banks, Sinclair and Rethel argue that what governments do in terms
of regulation shapes banks and their motivations, as can be seen in
the shortcomings of current reform proposals. Instead, more
far-reaching, alternative ways of regulating and shaping banks are
needed. A concise, essential overview of a pressing global issue.
