Abstract

The massive insolvency of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation has created a public policy crisis of major proportions. This paper provides a framework for understanding the basic problems of deposit insurance, explores the origins of the current crisis, describes the regulatory response, and discusses the fundamental reforms that still must be undertaken.
