Op-Ed: JPMorgan Lesson: End Government Bank Guarantees
It’s widely believed that JPMorgan Chase’s recent $2 billion–plus loss proves we need the comprehensive banking regulation called for by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law.
But but but Paul Krugman says this proves we need more regulation! And he's a genius, as he will gladly let you know at every opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone read Krugman's new book yet? I opened it and read a short but scathing commentary about Friedman, but wasn't willing to pay the $25.
