The document discusses the history and repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. It was established after the Great Depression to separate commercial and investment banking in response to risky behavior that contributed to the economic collapse. However, the act was repealed in 1999 under President Bill Clinton, allowing commercial banks to engage in investment banking activities again. Some argue this repeal contributed to the 2008 financial crisis by enabling risks like the underwriting of mortgage-backed securities. The repeal removed a key regulation that had been in place for decades to avoid another depression.
The document discusses the causes of the Great Depression and the 2008 Financial Crisis. Both crises were caused by under-regulated financial sectors that engaged in risky practices and excessive debt. Conditions like high private and public debt, a bubble economy based on new technologies, and cheap credit contributed to the Depression. The response to the crises differed but the regulations established after the Depression like Glass-Steagall informed later laws such as Dodd-Frank. The document also examines the causes of the European sovereign debt crisis, including weaknesses in the Maastricht Treaty and Growth and Stability Pact, tax evasion, and unequal economic conditions within the Eurozone.
The document provides details on the events leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, including the rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It describes how loosened lending standards in the 1990s-2000s contributed to the growth of risky mortgages like subprime loans. It also discusses how the unregulated expansion of markets like credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations exacerbated risk in the system. The timeline outlines key events from 2008 like the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in September and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, which triggered a wider crisis and government rescue efforts.
The document analyzes whether securitization is legal under US laws. It argues that securitization is illegal because it is fraudulent and violates laws around RICO, usury, and antitrust. The document provides an extensive list of references on the topic and aims to fill gaps in the literature around whether securitization causes usury or violates antitrust and RICO laws. It discusses the origins and evolution of securitization and the types of contracts used to determine their enforceability and analyze if securitization circumvents bankruptcy laws.
1) Canada's financial crisis was much milder than the US due to differences in their mortgage markets. Canada has maximum 5-year mortgage terms, mortgage interest is not tax deductible, and CMHC oversees mortgages.
2) In the US, 30-year fixed rate mortgages are common, interest is tax deductible incentivizing debt, and multiple agencies regulate housing. Securitization of mortgages led to risky lending and the financial crisis.

The Daily News conducted a two-month investigation into Her Majesty's Credit Union (HMCU) in the Virgin Islands. It found that HMCU is operated by a man with a criminal history of financial schemes who uses multiple aliases. While the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is actively investigating HMCU, the Virgin Islands government has failed to properly regulate or oversee HMCU despite knowing for two years that it lacks rules for credit unions. Members' deposits are now inaccessible as HMCU's office is closed, demonstrating the government's failure to protect residents.
The US housing market plummeted in the late 2000s, forcing many homebuilders into bankruptcy. Tousa, Inc., a large homebuilder, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after taking on over $1 billion in debt to fund rapid growth. When the housing market crashed, Tousa defaulted on $675 million in loans from 2005. In 2009, a US bankruptcy court ruled that Tousa's arrangement of $500 million in new debt in 2007 to pay off the 2005 loans was a fraudulent conveyance. The court voided over $500 million in secured debt and liens, in one of the largest lender liability cases related to the real estate crisis.
This presentation gives a summary of the National Mortgage Settlement Act, including key provisions of the Act and how it has benefited affected borrowers.

In response to one of the worst financial crises at the time, the Glass-Steagall Act set up a regulatory firewall between commercial and investment bank activities. The Glass-Steagall Act was also passed to encourage banks to use their funds for lending rather than investing those funds in the equity markets. This was intended to increase commerce. However, the stipulations of the act were considered harsh by most in the financial industry, and it was very controversial. The Act was signed into law by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 16, 1933, as part of the New Deal. It became a permanent measure in 1945.

What was the logic behind repealing this act in 1999?
