With almost 6,300 commercial banks, significantly more than in any
other country, the world of US banking is unique, fascinating, and
always in flux. Two principal pieces of legislation have shaped the
banking structure in this country: The McFadden Act of 1927, which
prohibited banks from branching into other states, and The
Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which separated commercial and
investment banking activities. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act
in 1999 was one of the main contributing factors behind the global
financial crisis of 2008. This measure resulted in the passage of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010, which once again prohibited commercial banks from making
certain types of speculative investments. The Changing Face of
American Banking analyzes the impact of both these acts - as well
as that of their subsequent repeal - in depth, examining the real
effects of government regulations on the US commercial banking
sector. Ray Chaudhuri pinpoints the evolving nature of US
commercial banks and banking regulations and explores their impact
on the economy. Instead of just focusing on banks and regulations,
this work considers the correlations and causality between banking
performance and economic growth and productivity. It also brings
the banking literature up to date with the 2008-2009 financial
crisis and its aftermath, including the passage of the Dodd-Frank
Act of 2010 and its effect on American banking.
