That society needs megabanks is, to put it kindly, a finely tailored piece of marketing. In fact, as I\u2019ve written about a few months back, banks need society a lot more than society needs banks. How do we know? Well, consider the Irish Bankers\u2019 Strikes of the 1970s, when fed-up bankers petulantly decided to go on strike (with the assumption that the economy would collapse, and society would beg to have them back). Instead, the economy kept growing, and a kind of peer-to-peer banking system arose spontaneously. Far from instability, the result was relative stability.<\/p>\n<p>The larger point is that the \u201cinstability\u201d that is the heart of Wall Street\u2019s scare tactics is in fact already upon us, savagely so. The global financial system is still being propped up with liquidity injections and implicit guarantees of every kind\u2014and on the flipside, income, wealth, and job creation are stagnating while poverty is growing. That is economic instability\u2014and the solution isn\u2019t subsidizing Wall Street to the hilt, because that only sets the stage for a bigger, nastier, meltdown in the next five years or so. The solution is building fundamentally, radically better financial institutions.<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/umair_haque\">umair_haque<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/banking\">banking<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/banks\">banks<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/america\">america<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/economy\">economy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
