The Postmodern Bank Safety Net:: Lessons from Developed and Developing Economies

By Charles W. Calomiris

An essential deep-dive into the hidden dangers of government-backed deposit insurance, where AEI scholar Charles W. Calomiris challenges conventional banking regulation, exposing how the postwar safety net breeds risky behavior and shields failing institutions from market discipline, while drawing urgent, timely lessons from Chile and Argentina's banking reforms for building genuine financial resilience and stability in the U.S. and worldwide.
