Event Summary
The financial crisis 12 years ago triggered a vigorous debate on whether large banks had become too big from the standpoint of financial stability, enforceability of law, and a sustainable political economy of financial oversight. In the meantime, the environment has changed, but the potential challenges posed by “megabanks” have not disappeared.
