Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: A history of the S&L scandal that caused a financial disaster for American taxpayers: “Hard to put down” (Library Journal). For most of the 20th century, savings and loans were an invaluable thread of the American economy. But in the 1970s, Congress passed sweeping financial deregulation at the insistence of industry insiders that allowed these once quaint and useful institutions to spread their taxpayer-insured assets into new and risky investments. The looser regulations and reduced federal oversight also opened the industry to an army of shady characters, white-collar criminals, and organized crime groups. Less than 10 years later, half the nation’s savings and loans were insolvent, leaving the American taxpayer on the hook for a large hunk of the nearly half a trillion dollars that had gone missing. The authors of Inside Job saw signs of danger long before the scandal hit nationwide. Decades after the savings and loan collapse, Inside Job remains a thrilling read and a sobering reminder that our financial institutions are more fragile than they appear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

Download or read book Financial Markets and Financial Crises written by R. Glenn Hubbard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-08-13 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warnings of the threat of an impending financial crisis are not new, but do we really know what constitutes an actual episode of crisis and how, once begun, it can be prevented from escalating into a full-blown economic collapse? Using both historical and contemporary episodes of breakdowns in financial trade, contributors to this volume draw insights from theory and empirical data, from the experience of closed and open economies worldwide, and from detailed case studies. They explore the susceptibility of American corporations to economic downturns; the origins of banking panics; and the behavior of financial markets during periods of crisis. Sever papers specifically address the current thrift crisis—including a detailed analysis of the over 500 FSLIC-insured thrifts in the southeast—and seriously challenge the value of recent measures aimed at preventing future collapse in that industry. Government economists and policy makers, scholars of industry and banking, and many in the business community will find these timely papers an invaluable reference.

Download or read book S & L Hell written by Kathleen Day and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1993 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The savings and loan mess is the greatest financial scandal in our nation's history. Over the course of the 1980s, that mess grew from a relatively modest problem early in the Reagan presidency to one that will cost an unimaginable $1 trillion - $4,000 for every man, woman, and child in the United States." "S & L Hell offers the most complete account of the causes of the catastrophe, spotlighting the role of the bumbling regulators, greedy thrift operators, sleazy lobbyists, venal and foolish politicians, presidents and a White House staff that consistently ignored the disaster - and the few heroes who struggled gamely to combat the looming problem. Its account is told through the stories of the leading players, men like the S&L president who dressed like a king and served his guests lion and antelope meat; the U.S. League of Savings Institutions, lobbyists who spread money (and much more) through the halls of the Capitol; the powerful representatives and senators, cutting deals in hallways, cloakrooms, and remote offices, "lawmakers" whose roles the scandal helped drive from office; the happy-go-lucky public relations man in over his head, who, as chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, found himself called upon to prevent a fiscal collapse of epic proportions. And the role that George Bush and his son Neil played in the debacle - a role much larger than the public has been made aware." "By taking the reader into agency back offices and congressional committee rooms where the crucial decisions were being made - such as that to raise FDIC insurance to $100,000 - S & L Hell also explores questions of continuing importance: the inevitable dangers when regulators first coddle, then fall under the control of the industry that they are charged with policing, and when elected officials become beholden to special interests through campaign contributions and other often bizarre special favors." "Told against the background of convulsive changes in the American financial system that doomed the mom-and-pop thrifts glorified in Its a Wonderful Life, S & L Hell's panorama of bankers and prostitutes, of members of Congress and Cabinet secretaries, is the ultimate story of greed in the 1980s - a story that we all will pay for over the decades to come."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Evidence on US Savings and Loan Profitability in Times of Crisis written by Mine Aysen Doyran and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, market disturbances and unexpected price volatility besieged the US financial system. Since then weak balance sheets have heightened risk, thus resulting in an unprecedented rise in non-performing loans and credit-related write-offs in mortgage lending related sectors. This paper examines the determinants of US Savings and Loan (S&L) profitability in the time period 1978 and 2009. We use the recently developed unit root econometrics for time-series data analysis. Using ADF as a statistical test by estimation of least squares trend fitting, the study highlights that high leverage and large non-performing loan to total loan ratio leads to a lower rate of return on capital. In addition, the loan ratio has a significant negative coefficient on return on asset and equity capital. While macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates have a negative effect on bank earnings, the effects of interest rates can vary depending on the profit indicator used. By and large, there is evidence that the quality of loan portfolio rather than size (economies of scale) affects profitability negatively. Our results are confirmed by earlier studies that over-leveraging and under-performing loans have the potential to render S&Ls vulnerable to financial shocks, thus contributing to financial instability.
