Basel III and Risky Banking Behavior: Too Little, Too Lenient, Too Late?

KNOWLEDGE AT WHARTON ARCHIVES: As the world haltingly recovers from the recession, regulators are struggling to modify the financial system to prevent another crisis. The latest effort: stricter capital requirements to help prevent large banks from collapsing under the weight of unexpected losses.

Why not just let the banks run under the same regulations as casinos?

January the 1st is coming...any predictions?

[@mrparrehesian1742]

How is it that a decade after the GFC the bankers are so fearful of the public that they must congregate in a place that is easy to fortify? If they bankers were doing the job in which confidence could be shown to the public, and they expose their public goodwill, it is possible that these Banking Ceo's would have less fear. What are these people doing to be so fearful of the public? Maybe they could change their business model and become productive asset builders vs being parasitic to National Budgets.
