The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Considers the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the financial reform response, promoting the argument that the source of both the intensity of the crisis and the weakness of the response was the power of a collection of big financial institutions and their supporters that acquired a huge amount of political power.”
