Those four players have failed fundamentally in the promises they made in the wake of the crisis – to moralise the banking system, separate commercial banks from investment banks, end exorbitant salaries and bonuses, and finally finance the real economy. We didn't believe those promises at the time, and for good reason. Instead of a moralising of the banking system, all we've had is a long list of misappropriations that have been brought to light by a series of bank failures, beginning with that of Lehman Brothers in 15 September, 2008.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV495-April-2016-" rel="directory">IV495 - April 2016</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Economy-+" rel="tag">Economy</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Debt-+" rel="tag">Debt</a>
