The current banking crisis in the U.S. is in some respects even more dramatic than the banking crisis in the Great Depression. Highly unusual responses by the Federal Reserve Bank have kept the severe recession from becoming a second Great Depression. Professor Abrams’ talk will address the causes and extent of the current banking crisis, the effect on bank credit, the Fed’s responses and the problems that remain.
