In particular, important parts of our financial system became highly leveraged, in the sense that they took out debts that were very large relative to their shareholder equity. At that time, on average, the world\u2019s largest banks had equity worth only around two percent of their total balance sheets. As asset values went up, so did bonuses \u2013 financial executives are typically paid based on their \u201creturn on equity,\u201d unadjusted for risk. When house prices turned down and related losses mounted, these small amounts of shareholder equity \u2013 the core of what is known as capital in the banking world \u2013 were quickly wiped out for the most highly leveraged firms.<\/p>\n<p>The logical next step would have been a set of reforms to prevent big financial firms from ever becoming so highly leveraged again&#8230;..Not surprisingly, the big banks and their allies fought back against any reasonable reforms that would limit their leverage and their ability to take big risks. The Dodd-Frank reforms passed by Congress in summer 2010 were, as a result, disappointing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Increasing bank capital requirements and limiting the types of activities that FDIC-insured banks can engage in are in everyone&#8217;s best interest. Even in the long-term interest of banks. But unfortunately bankers are focused on their short-term bonuses and not the long-term stability of the financial system. <\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href='http:\/\/billmoyers.com\/2014\/06\/18\/financial-reform-rising\/'>Financial Reform Rising | Perspectives | BillMoyers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Johnson describes how support for financial reforms is rising despite banks fighting tooth and nail to restrict changes to the current status quo.
