We focus on the political decisions that shape the structure of financial markets and the international economic forces that make some countries especially vulnerable to financial instability. We highlight the effects of two variables in combination: foreign capital inflows and financial market structure - specifically, the relative prominence of securities markets versus commercial banking in the domestic financial system. Foreign capital is the fuel for banks' potentially dangerous behavior, whereas banks are more likely to take on excessive risks when operating in a financial system with large securities markets. The study of banking necessarily leads to a focus on politics, but not in the way that many observers might imagine. Bankers themselves have political preferences and may express them publicly, and some banks lobby for favorable public policies and donate to political campaigns and political action committees. But at a deeper level, banks are embedded in financial markets, which themselves reflect an accumulation of government choices. Banks today operate in an environment shaped by these choices, some of which make banks more resilient, others of which make them more prone to crisis"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bank failures $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Banks and banking $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Financial services $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Bank failures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00826658 650 7 $a Banks and banking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00826867 650 7 $a Bankenkrise. $0 (DE-588)4209657-1 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Finanzkrise. $0 (DE-588)7635855-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaftspolitik. $0 (DE-588)4066493-4 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Deutschland. $0 (DE-588)4011882-4 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Kanada. $0 (DE-588)4029456-0 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Singer, David Andrew, $e author. 710 2 $a Cambridge University Press. 830 0 $a Political economy of institutions and decisions. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C1EB5E8FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
